Copy FT and publish extent of emissions (6,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carbon footprint

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'extent of emissions' is the definition.
'carbon footprint' can be an answer for 'emissions' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'extent of' bit.

'copy ft and publish' is the wordplay.
'copy' becomes 'carbon' (as in a carbon copy).
'ft' becomes 'foot' (synonyms).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'publish' becomes 'print' (synonyms).
'carbon'+'foot'+'print'='CARBON FOOTPRINT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carbon footprint that I've seen before include "emission level" , "personal effects?" , "emissions" , "From measure of energy usage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
