The second study meanwhile looked at how
aerosol emissions impact the Earth's temperature through a phenomenon the researchers call «transient climate sensitivity,» or how much of the Earth's temperature will change when the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reaches twice its level during the pre-industrial times.
One of the study's main conclusions is that «[t] he GHG impact of petroleum estimated herein ranges from 90 to 120 g CO2e / MJ (grams of CO2 equivalent emissions per megajoule (MJ) of gasoline fuel consumed), depending on the source of the petroleum and to what extent
indirect emission impacts are included.»

net emissions impact of residues burned for bioenergy.
However, China's willingness to translate its existing domestic energy conservation goals, often discussed in terms of amount of energy consumed, into a metric that is consistent with the language of international climate policy, i.e. carbon emissions, is the clearest signal yet that China is willing to take on responsibilities that are commensurate with its resources and
global emissions impact.

the emissions impact of a facility this size will not be small and GHG policies could be material to the overall costs of the project, but that's not likely the case for current policies.
An article published this week in Nature Climate Change (article via Nature paywall) is making the rounds of the headlines because it makes some pretty bold claims — namely that the US State Department under - estimated
the emissions impact of the Keystone XL pipeline by up to a factor of four.
The authors argue that it's the emissions associated with increased consumption of oil which lead to an estimate of
the emissions impact of KXL of 100 - 110 Mt / yr, up to four times the upper limit derived by the State Department.
