"Where is the data that supports your claim that you were lied to"

Obviously I wasn't at the meeting where it was decided to lie. I honestly don't know who originally did the calculations; the quote seems to appear verbatim all over the net.

All I did was look up some credible sources for information. The links are in one of my previous posts in this thread. I even chose sources that would be acceptible to, or sourced by "greens," such as "Carbon Monitoring for Action." I then did the calculations myself. It isn't rocket science. To get near the numbers so often quoted, you have to choose low emission cars, and high-emission power plants. If it's a true statement, then it should be repeatable with publicly available information (a part of what is sometimes called "the scientific method").
