As unbelievable farcical as this whole global warming hysteria has been, it is encouraging to see the brakes starting to be applied.
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.
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!
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.
