It is worthwhile to note the probable greenhouse gas effects of this pipeline and the usage of the gas for oil sands extraction. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, it could contribute 25 megatonnes of greenhouse gases. That is 15 times the total GHG releases for Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. This has led the Suzuki Foundation to recommend the cancellation of the pipeline.
