State Department opens door to Keystone XL Pipeline approval
2013-03-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Anchorage Daily News: The State Department announced Friday that construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline is unlikely to have a significant impact on climate change, a finding that could open the door for President Barack Obama to approve the controversial project. The 1,700-mile pipeline would bring oil from the Alberta oil sands in Canada to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast. The Congressional Research Service has estimated that crude oil from the sands could produce 14 percent to 20 percent more planet-warming gases...

After Keystone Review, Environmentalists Vow To Continue Fight
2013-03-03 05:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: If they can block the Keystone XL pipeline, they can keep Canada from developing more of its dirty tar sands oil. It takes a lot of energy to get it out of the ground and turn it into gasoline, so it has a bigger greenhouse gas footprint than conventional oil. But the State Department report, which was released Friday, says Keystone won't have much of an impact on the development of that oil from Alberta, Canada. Industry analyst Kevin Book of ClearView Energy Partners says that finding will...

Keystone XL pipeline report slammed by activists and scientists
2013-03-02 19:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Green activists and climate change scientists have slammed a new report from the Obama administration that raises no serious objections to building a massive and controversial oil pipeline. The Sierra Club, one of the US's oldest and most respected environmental advocacy groups, attacked the State Department study into the proposed Keystone XL piepline which will bring oil from Canadian tar sands deposits down to the Gulf of Mexico as a "deeply flawed" analysis of the environmental consequences...

Keystone XL: A Choice Between Big Oil or a Sustainable Planet
2013-03-02 15:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Last week Time Magazine declared that Keystone XL had become the Stonewall and the Selma of the climate movement--and today we got a reminder of just how tough those fights were, and how tough this one will be. On a Friday afternoon, with Secretary of State John Kerry half a world away and D.C. focused on the budget fight, the State Department released a new environmental impact statement for the pipeline. Like the last such report, it found that approving a 800,000 barrel-a-day fuse to one of...
Environmentalists diss State Dept.'s Keystone pipeline review
2013-03-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: The State Department riled environmentalists with a largely positive review Friday of a controversial Canada-to-U.S. pipeline, saying the project would not significantly alter the development of Canada's tar sands. In its long-awaited draft environmental review of the Keystone XL, the State Department said the pipeline won't make much of a difference to climate change because the tar sands will likely be developed anyway. "Approval or denial of the proposed project is unlikely to have a substantial...
