Green Groups: Keystone XL to Increase Tar Sands Production by 36 Per Cent

The Keystone XL pipeline would boost oil production from Canadian tar sands by at least 36 per cent, leading to an inevitable increase in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a major new report from a coalition of US green NGOs.

The group of more than a dozen organisations, including the Sierra Club, 350.org, and Oil Change International, released the report Thursday in response to President Obama's recent pledge that he would only approve the project if it "does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution".
