I found this chart to be interesting. I think most people agree the biggest contributor to climate change is CO2 emissions. Therefore, reducing emissions is the primary environmental goal.

What I don't understand is how the O&G sector is actually a bigger contributor to emissions than transportation. I always thought that industries that actually burn the fossil fuel (like manufacturing and transportation) contribute significantly more to global emissions more so than the extraction of said fossil fuels. This is of course ignoring other environmental impacts like habitat loss for wildlife during O&G development. The source for the chart should be non-partisan it's from the environment Canada website.
Anyone care to explain further?
