Cowie et al. make a number of claims about our analysis, all of which we believe to be misguided. For example, they claim our 'basic scenarios' excluded “those parts of the life cycle that occur abroad,” even though our article explicitly states otherwise. They also claim it is unclear whether we applied an attributional or consequential approach to life-cycle assessment (LCA), despite the opening paragraph clearly stating that the article is concerned with consequential LCA (CLCA).
