We focus on ruminant livestock since it has the highest emissions intensity across food sectors... While shifting consumption patterns in wealthy countries from imported to domestic livestock products reduces GHG emissions associated with international trade and transport activity, we find that these transport emissions reductions are swamped by changes in global emissions due to differences in GHG emissions intensities of production.

Not exact matches

Impact on oil and gas production: compared to a carbon tax, Alberta's policy offers emitters less of an incentive to reduce production in order to cut GHGs, notes Leach: «assuming that the facility reduced production by 10 percent, and that emissions decreased proportionately (a simplifying assumption), the facility's emissions intensity would not change, so its carbon liability per barrel of oil produced would also remain constant.»

The Harper government's is downright deceptive: under it, greenhouse emissions could actually rise as their «intensity» (the amount of GHGs emitted for a dollar of GDP) falls.
