FuelFix: Environmentalists on Thursday asserted that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline fails President Barack Obama`s test for approval, because it would exacerbate global warming. The project is the "linchpin" to unlocking the development of Alberta, Canada`s oil sands using particularly energy intensive techniques, according to a report issues by the Sierra Club, Environment America and other groups. "The Keystone XL presidential permit decision is so important precisely because it has critical implications...

Green groups: Keystone XL to increase tar sands production by 36 per cent
2013-08-30 12:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: The Keystone XL pipeline would boost oil production from Canadian tar sands by at least 36 per cent leading to an inevitable increase in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a major new report from a coalition of US green NGOs. The group of more than a dozen organisations, including the Sierra Club, 350.org, and Oil Change International, released the report yesterday in response to President Obama's recent pledge that he would only approve the project if it "does not significantly exacerbate...

Report: Keystone XL Will Drive Oil Sands Growth, Boost Emissions

Hill: The Keystone XL pipeline will expand oil sands production in Canada by 36 percent, and therefore, ramp up carbon emissions, according to a report released Thursday by environmental groups. The groups said the report gives President Obama all of the information he needs to reject Keystone, as the president said in June hed oppose the Canada-to-Texas pipeline if it significantly exacerbates carbon pollution. The answer to the presidents Keystone XL climate challenge is clear: the Keystone...

Environment News Service: Environmental advocates delivered a report on the climate effects of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline to President Barack Obama today, with the intention of giving the President all the information he needs to reject the pipeline. Sierra Club and Oil Change International compiled the report, which finds that the bitumen produced from the oil sands of northern Alberta would push climate change into overdrive. The report concludes that the Keystone XL pipeline is the "linchpin" of further tar...

Greens use Keystone XL backers' words to undermine pipeline
2013-08-29 23:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Environmental groups on Thursday used statements by supporters of the proposed Canada-U.S. Keystone XL pipeline to undermine the argument that Canada's tar sands will be developed without the project, so the impact on greenhouse gases will be the same. A report put together by more than a dozen green groups compiles statements by industry and government officials, financial analysts and green groups to argue that the 830,000 b/d oil pipeline is essential for the development of the tar sands, and...
