Canadian oil sands crudes are on average somewhat more GHG emission - intensive than the crudes they would displace in U.S. refineries, as Well - to - Wheel GHG emissions are, on average, 14 % -20 % higher for Canadian oil sands crude than for the weighted average of transportation fuels sold or distributed in the United States;

discounting the final consumption phase of the life - cycle assessment (which can contribute up to 70 % -80 % of Well - to - Wheel emissions), Well - to - Tank (i.e., «production») GHG emissions are, on average, 72 % -111 % higher for Canadian oil sands crude than for the weighted average of transportation fuels sold or distributed in the United States;

-- In the event that the Administrator or the National Academy of Sciences has concluded, in the most recent report submitted under section 705 or 706 respectively, that the United States will not achieve the necessary domestic greenhouse gas emissions reductions, or that global actions will not maintain safe global average surface temperature and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration thresholds, the President shall, not later than July 1, 2015, and every 4 years thereafter, submit to Congress a plan identifying domestic and international actions that will achieve necessary additional greenhouse gas reductions, including any recommendations for legislative action.

«An increased share of natural gas in the global energy mix alone will not put the world on a carbon emissions path consistent with an average global temperature rise of no more than 2 [degrees Celsius],» the report states.

Yet, since the world averages 6.5 CO2 tons of per capita emissions while countries like the United States are emitting 19 tons per capita, and the world must reduce per capita emissions to perhaps less than 2.0 tons per capita to prevent dangerous climate change, it is very unlikely that many groups or people in developed countries can make a respectable argument that they are already below their fair share of safe global emissions.

org, US reductions need to be much greater than average reduction levels required of the entire world as a matter of equity because the United States emissions are among the world's highest in terms of per capita and historical emissions and there is precious little atmospheric space remaining for additional ghg emissions if the world is serious about avoiding dangerous climate change.

• Poles to tropics temperature gradient, average temp of tropics over past 540 Ma; and arguably warming may be net - beneficial overall • Quotes from IPCC AR4 WG1 showing that warming would be beneficial for life, not damaging • Quotes from IPCC AR5 WG3 stating (in effect) that the damage functions used for estimating damages are not supported by evidence • Richard Tol's breakdown of economic impacts of GW by sector • Economic damages of climate change — about the IAMs • McKitrick — Social Cost of Carbon much lower than commonly stated • Bias on impacts of GHG emissions — Figure 1 is a chart showing 15 recent estimates of SCC — Lewis and Curry, 2015, has the lowest uncertainty range.

An increase in carbon dioxide concentrations that is «unprecedented» in the last 20,000 years, along with increases in other emissions, have driven up average temperatures by about 0.6 degrees Celsius (1 degree Fahrenheit) since 1950, the report states.

The CPP tells states to reduce the average carbon emissions of their power - plant fleets and largely leaves it up to states how to do so.

«Since 1990, U.S. emissions have increased more slowly than the average annual growth in population (1.2 percent), primary energy consumption (1.1 percent), electric power generation (1.9 percent), or gross domestic product (3.0 percent),» said the report, titled «Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 200emissions have increased more slowly than the average annual growth in population (1.2 percent), primary energy consumption (1.1 percent), electric power generation (1.9 percent), or gross domestic product (3.0 percent),» said the report, titled «Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 200Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 2005».

The State Department estimates that oil sands oil has 17 % greater well - to - wheel CO2 emissions than average US crude, which corresponds to approximately 200 additional pounds of CO2 emissions per barrel relative to average US crude.

The 30 percent reduction represents an average, so states can cut carbon emissions at levels either greater or less than that overall figure.

Even the U.S. State Department recognized oil sands innovation in its evaluation of the Keystone XL pipeline project: «Oil sands mining projects have reduced greenhouse gas emissions intensity by an average of 39 percent between 1990 and 2008 and are working toward further reductions,» the final Environmental Impact Statement concluded.
