Check out this Sightline report that counts the potential carbon emissions from fossil fuel export infrastructure currently proposed throughout the Pacific Northwest. There's a lot at stake. In Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia alone there are proposals in the works for seven new or expanded coal terminals, three new oil pipelines, and six new natural gas pipelines. Sightline puts it best. "The projects are distinct, but they can be denominated in a common currency: the tons of carbon dioxide emitted if the fossil fuels were burned."
