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...
Surprise! Keystone XL will make climate change worse
2014-08-10 19:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Try not to faint from shock. The controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry Canadian oil through the US, will make climate change worse. It will boost global emissions of carbon dioxide by up to 110 million tonnes per year. The finding will step up the pressure on US president Barack Obama to stop the pipeline being built. That extra CO2 is not a huge amount on a global scale. "But it is a step in the wrong direction," says Jerry Schnoor of the University of Iowa in Iowa City, who was...

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 may create more pollution than previously calculated

Agence France-Presse: A proposed pipeline from Canada to the United States may result in much higher greenhouse gas emissions than previously calculated as it could fuel greater oil consumption through higher production and lower prices, a study said Sunday. Researchers from the Stockholm Environment Institute used a mathematical model to estimate the Keystone XL pipelines potential for atmospheric pollution. Unlike calculations by the US State Department, they took into account a possible consumption rise in line...

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...
