BusinessGreen: The chances of the controversial Keystone XL tar sands pipeline being granted Presidential approval have improved significantly, after the State Department released a draft report late last week suggesting the project would not lead to a new increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The long-awaited draft report, which is now open to consultation, concluded that the proposed pipeline running from Canada's Alberta tar sands to oil refineries in Texas would not have any real impact on the development...

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...

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...
