WUWT reader Chris M Writes in Tips and Notes to WUWT
Have you noticed that the Australian PM, Kevin Rudd has dumped his CTS until at least 2012. This was his key platform at the last election, when he described global warming as “the greatest moral imperative of our time”.
How the times have changed.
Anyway, his Minister for Climate Change, Penny Wong, is too busy cleaning up after his botched home insulation scheme to be able to devote any time to climate change.
I recommend Dennis Shanahan’s excellent comment in The Australian newspaper http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/pm-delays-emissions-trading-scheme-as-inconvenient-political-truth/story-e6frg75f-1225858920473

A scheme indeed. Well said Chris. Andrew Bolt has more: The greatest reversal of dud policies in our lifetime
Add this to the collapse of the Kerry-Leiberman-Graham bill in the U.S. Senate this week, and all of the sudden it’s been a really bad week for alarmists.
Of course anybody with half a brain can see that carbon trading is flatlining here in the USA.
Carbon is waaayy down from the high of over seven dollars a ton to ten cents a ton and has been at that level for months. The data is from the Gore-Pachauri sponsored Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX)

As unbelievable farcical as this whole global warming hysteria has been, it is encouraging to see the brakes starting to be applied.
WOW..looks like the scammers really started trading the stock up higher the minute the dems won control of the senate and house in 2006...LOL! I hope they all lose their shirts and the ring leaders go to jail one day soon!
I really hate to be the cynical old man here-—but I fear there is too much cake on the table here for ALL the politicians to pass up. Just one Lindsey will turn the tide and we’ll pay for it forever.
For how much cake.....see link at #3...
I have read that about $4 trillion has been placed in the forming climate carbon exchange ponzi “green” extravaganza bubble. Too bad. But the EPA will do its darndest to harness us to in lieu of default of other parties like the sane Aussies, however. Lisa Johnsons’ (EPA) blank slate mind was written upon like a CD, and continues to play.
Whoops...senior moment...you were already over there....
Hmmm, if I get restaurants to send me tons of burnt toast instead of throwing it away, I could sell the little squares of captured carbon, I could be a Gorezillionaire!
You'd have to sell through Gore's Carbon Credit Exchange, and pay the sales commission to Gore.
It'd be about 99.99%, and you have to safely store the toast so it didn't decompose and release CO2.
And keep records.
If implemented, it will be an economy wrecker for most of us ... and there will be imperceptible impact on global temperature (but they will lie to the contrary, of course, to diffuse backlash).
I can not comprehend certain mindsets, like those involved in promoting this form of pure evil, which, again to me, is not unlike the pure evil of serial killers.
I could not agree more. They have built in so many lies, the only recourse left is to keep lying and shove this ruin down our throats.
Their commitment is so deep the pending ruin means nothing to them.
Glenn Beck clued Fox viewers onto Obama's connection to the Chicago Climate Change. The truth always outs—even when you’re Barack Obama.
Obama’s involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange—the rest of the story
By Judi McLeod, March 25, 2009, Canadian Free Press
“Obama Years Ago Helped Fund Carbon Program He Is Now Pushing Through Congress” is a FOXNews story by Ed Barnes.
In short, “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.”
The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which 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.”
And that’s only the beginning of this tawdry tale, Mr. Barnes. The “privately-owned” Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong. For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.
Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.”
Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys his carbon off-sets from himself—the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding partner. The Generation Investment Management business has considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading firms that currently exist, including the Chicago Climate Exchange.
Strong, the silent partner, is a man whose name often draws a blank on the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States.
That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he has been working to make the communist country the world’s next superpower. The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol.--SNIP--long read

The exchanges in Chicagoland aren’t gonna be happy with that news. The global derivatives Ponzi Scheme is still alive and well, however.
You can count me in. I have the same work load, but will carve some time when I can.
Maybe those with great documentation can put together a small thesis which documents and shows what a farce the Gorebull warming is and how that Ponzi Scheme is falling apart around the world.
Then, they can post it, and we can send that documentation to all of the $inators and Congre$$its in the nation asking what is the differenc between Madoff/Stanford and the Gorebull warming Carbon trading scheme?
“what is the differenc between Madoff/Stanford and the Gorebull warming Carbon trading scheme?”
.
Really simple:
Madoff ripped off only his investors, while the GoreBull scheme rips all of us off.
