Obama Years Ago Helped Fund Carbon Program He Is Now Pushing Through Congress

By Ed Barnes

- FOXNews.com

While on the board of a Chicago-based charity, Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress as president.

In 2000 and 2001, while Barack Obama served as a board member for a Chicago-based charitable foundation, he helped to fund a pioneering carbon trading exchange that is likely to fill a critical role in the controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme that President Obama is now trying to push rapidly through Congress.

During those two years, the Joyce Foundation gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”

One of those gases is carbon dioxide, the most ubiquitous greenhouse gas and the focus of the most far-reaching — and contentious — efforts to combat “climate change.” On Monday, Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency declared carbon dioxide a public health threat.

The President of the Joyce Foundation in 2000, when the foundation made its first grant to the Climate Exchange, was Paula DiPerna, who is now executive vice president of the Chicago Climate Exchange in charge of corporate recruitment and public policy, as well as president of CCX International.

The show excellent. He did a very good job connecting the dots on this whole global warming scam.

Please note the Joyce Foundation is also a major enabler of the ANTI Gun lobby and many other left wing causes.

Great flashback article..especially in light of Beck’s show yesterday. Loved this part:

“Joyce Foundation president Ellen Alberdling said it was not unusual for the foundation to keep funding projects that ran into trouble. “We are in involved in making policy decisions, not creating successful businesses. We have done it with many other projects as well.” she said.”

LOL...spoken like a true marxist! I’d love to find out who exactly is funding the Joyce Foundation. It sounds like a commie front group if ever there was one.
