据石油变化国际组织（Oil Change International）的研究，勘探阿根廷页岩储备所排放的碳量，相当于将全球升温幅度限制在前工业化水平以上1.5℃以内 — — 这也是巴黎气候协定所制定的目标 — — 可用碳预算的15 % 。
According to research by Oil Change International, full exploitation of Argentina’s shale reserves would consume up to 15% of the entire world’s carbon budget for limiting global warming to less than 1.5° Celsius above pre-industrial levels – the target established by the Paris climate agreement.
