Keystone Would Not Impact Tar Sands Production, Emissions
2013-08-09 07:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Fuel Fix: Keystone XL would not add to greenhouse gas emissions, according to a study published Thursday by an independent research group that echoed the findings of government-backed reports. The study found that the addition of the new pipeline connecting Canadian oil sands fields with the U.S. Gulf Coast wouldnt make a substantial difference in emissions because U.S. refineries would get similar crude from Venezuela or elsewhere. Production, processing and transportation of Venezuelan heavy crude results...

How Shoddy Science Almost Led One Agency to Use Flawed Map in Keystone XL Review
2013-08-09 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Greenwire: A year ago, the Fish and Wildlife Service was poised to use a scientifically flawed range map for the American burying beetle during a preliminary assessment of the Keystone XL pipeline's effect on the endangered insect. The map would have shrunk the insect's range by 25 percent in Oklahoma, using spatial models -- rather than county lines -- to determine the habitat. But the map was never used in the Keystone assessment or any other agency action, thanks to a scientific integrity complaint. News...
Report says Keystone pipeline would not up U.S. greenhouse gas emissions

Reuters: A new study has backed an earlier finding by the U.S. State Department that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline will have "no material impact" on U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, a crucial factor the White House is expected to weigh when it decides whether to approve the project. The report, produced by consulting and research firm IHS CERA Inc, after consultation with industry, policymakers and non-government organizations, found that without the pipeline, the use of alternate transportation routes...

The Keystone XL pipeline alternative youve never heard of is probably going to be built
2013-08-08 22:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Last week, the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from the Alberta tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico, hit another snag: The State Department`s Office of the Inspector General said that it is investigating a possible conflict-of-interest issue in the project`s environmental impact study. The inspector general is probing whether the company that produced the environmental impact study, Environmental Resource Management, failed to disclose its past working relationship with...
