Hi folks: [This message was cross-posted in AESS; apologies for those who get it twice]
At points I've come across some politically motivated (or politically convenient) life-cycle assessments; one I remember in particular -- which was in popular media like the NYTimes Magazine or Wired or something -- concluded that riding a bicycle was more environmentally problematic than driving an SUV, perhaps because the person riding the bike would have to consume more food to make up for the energy used, or because being fit would increase lifespan and thus the time over which a person would cause environmental harm. I can't find that LCA of memory; if anyone remembers that one in particular I'd love details about how to find it. And I'm also seeking other examples of LCAs that find not just counterintuitive but someone ridiculous conclusions by how they are set up. If you have any ideas for how to find these, I'd love to hear about 'em. [And I'm happy to summarize any suggestions I get to post back to gep-ed.] Thanks! Beth Elizabeth R.
