Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University weighed into a growing body of analyses about the environmental impact of a natural gas boom stretching ...

By including upstream emissions from fuels, GHG emissions from cities exceed those attributed to direct end-use by up to 24% (for Toronto). Tonnes CO 2 e/capita. Credit: ACS, Kennedy et al. 2009.

An international study of 10 global cities found that a balance of geophysical factors (climate, access to resources, and gateway status) and technical factors (power generation, urban design, and waste processing) determine the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) attributable to citi

For those of you who don’t know the meaning… a little help from Wikipedia : A carbon footprint is “the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product” (UK Carbon Trust 2008).
