Use By The BBC
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has used the term cubic tonne on at least three occasions:
- In a television report on greenhouse gases
- In a television report on Silbury Hill
- In an internet article on an Alpine tunnel
The BBC's use of this unofficial unit caused some amusement in chatrooms. The BBC later amended the internet article by changing cubic tonnes to cubic metres.
