First, I doubt your kernels statistics actually account correctly at that level of precision. (If it does, that alone would waste a lot of CPU cycles!)
Second, have you checked the memory footprint of NTPD ? "machine resources" is more than CPU cycles.
And don't forget: That number was one quarters purchase of servers, running for half a year. All the servers bought in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and the other half of the year were not included.
Things add up.

I don't see how this increases CO2 output though. > Things add up To a still very insignificant number, dwarfed by the beef consumption of the people reading this. I'd say there are better arguments in favour of using dated languages than this.
