| 摘要： | National Highways has hailed the potential for the LTC to be a pathfinder project that will help develop new low-carbon methods of construction, as Highways reported in April. It is claiming to have cut construction emissions by 'more than a third' already and has trailed an even bigger cut - 80% - in its forecast of carbon emissions from traffic generated by the scheme. These claims are not wishful thinking as such, but a form of it. They result from excessively negative assumptions when producing 'counterfactual' baselines -therefore allowing large claims of progress to be made from inflated baselines. Worthwhile progress has been made, and of course should be celebrated, but a kind of mix and match has been deployed at times to allow current best practice to be compared against outdated practice. Much of this comes down to what should be understood as 'business as usual' and how we measure progress against it. |
