Study: Pipeline Would Result In More Global Warming Pollution

Associated Press: A new study published Sunday by the journal Nature Climate Change concludes the much-debated Keystone XL pipeline could produce four times more global warming pollution than the State Department calculated this year. The proposed pipeline would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to Texas, passing through western Nebraska. Researchers estimate it would increase world carbon by as much as 121 million tons a year compared with the department's estimate of 30 million tons. Study lead author...

An economic analysis of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline's possible climate impacts has concluded they could be up to four times higher than previously estimated.
Keystone XL Will Spike Oil Demand and CO2, Study Says

Climate Central: The proposed Keystone XL Pipeline and the greenhouse gases that would be released because of it have been at the heart of the debate over whether the pipeline should be built in the U.S. since it was first proposed in 2008. The U.S. State Department estimated in its final environmental review of Keystone XL that the pipeline would lead to the emission of between 1 million and 27 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, but won't significantly worsen climate change. A new study published Sunday...
Study: Keystone carbon pollution more than figured

Associated Press: The much-debated Keystone XL pipeline could produce four times more global warming pollution than the State Department calculated earlier this year, a new study concludes. The U.S. estimates didn't take into account that the added oil from the pipeline would drop prices by about $3 a barrel, spurring consumption that would create more pollution, the researchers said. Outside experts not connected to the study gave it mixed reviews. The American Petroleum Institute found the study to be irrelevant...

Keystone XL pipeline could have bigger impact than expected, new study says
2014-08-10 13:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Montreal Gazette: The proposed Keystone XL pipeline to connect Canadian oilsands with U.S. refineries and ports could have a much larger impact on greenhouse gas emissions than previously assumed, according to a new study. If the controversial pipeline gets the go-ahead it might lower global oil prices, increase consumption and quadruple the total greenhouse gas impact of the project, says an analysis published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. It also points to gaps in existing environmental and...
