Well, that’s one business I’m happy to see fail.

The whole problem is that carbon can only be successfully traded when it is in a useful form. Trading some amorphous “carbon”, the ownership of which is only represented by a certificate, but which cannot be truly possessed doesn’t make sense to most people. But trading carbon in the form of, for instance, food or furniture leaves people feeling like they got something of value for their money.

Hopefully the whole line of these evil pricks including the GE's, Goldman Sachs etc., shall suffer actual loses.
And I do hope all Republican Senators and House of Representatives as well as any Demorate with a little semblance of brain power will get the message.
It is time to bury the whole issue of AGW. Once and for all, and for them to have some balls and tell the UN and all their contributors to go get ...d.
Let the stupid Europeans piss away their hard earned money on false and useless things related to AGW. Eventually as we are seeing they are slowly waking up to the horrors of this scam.

A cause for a major celebration. May all these climate grifters die penniless.

No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)

That article takes Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.

The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'

It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming

Those four articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

That article pretty much puts the kibosh on any serious trend of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign at all of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? Beyond the centuries long slow warming of the earth and rising of the seas of course. But that is only a few millimeters per century due to the inter-glacial period we are in.

All you need to know is in this paragraph.

“Barack Obama was a board member of the Joyce Foundation that funded the fledgling CCX. Professor Richard Sandor, of Northwestern University had started the business with $1.1 million in grants from the Chicago-based left-wing Joyce Foundation enthusiastically endorsed by Obama. When founded in November 2000, CCX’s carbon trading market was predicted to grow anywhere between $500 billion and $10 trillion.’

Remember who he worked with at the Joyce Foundation?

http://www.verumserum.com/?p=2826

Word ‘on the street’ is that there will be things come to light - now that obambie will no long have Congress to protect his back - that will take him down and that this information will come from Chicago....

Did RAhm scoot back to Chicago ‘cause he wants to run for mayor or to do some damage control? Do they think that by closing the exchange now that the records can be buried?

The person from the inside that told a reporter that the “WON” will go down and that Chicgao is where it will lead - said also to look into Blaggo, Resko and that gang.
the rats are on the run - and will eat their own to survive.

* Joyce Foundation : The [Chicago Climate] Exchange [aka CCX] owes it existence in part to the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago-based liberal foundation philanthropy that provided $347,000 in grant support in 2000 for a preliminary study to test the viability of a market in carbon credits. On the CCX board of directors is the ubiquitous Maurice Strong, a Canadian industrialist and diplomat who since the 1970s has helped create an international policy agenda for the environmentalist movement. ...Provided grant support to test the market in carbon credits. Barack Hussein Obama sat on their Board for 8 years.-—— http://blog.newyorkcitycommunity.us/2008/09/20/jon-corzine-and-hot-air—perfect-together.aspx

The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) announced on October 21, 2010 that it will cease carbon trading this year. ... To some key analysts the collapse of the CCX appears to show that international carbon trading is “dying a quiet death.”

Sandor on permanent vacation? Moving on to the next scam?

Yet Milloy finds that such a major business failure has drawn no interest at all from the mainstream media.

Where's Gomer Pyle?

Surprise, surprise, surprise! You can't even get the mainstream media to admit it was all a hoax.

bwaaa ha haa haaaaaa

can we hope that Albore will end up bankrupt, or has he already cashed out his various fraudulent “investments” to put the money in other holdings?

The House will, please God, hold thorough, excruciatingly detailed hearings on Climategate and the role of the Associated Press in promoting the AGW fraud.
Note to Congressmen: The Associated Press is the homogenizing influence which suppresses ideological diversity within journalism. The AP was found by SCOTUS to be in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act back in 1945. Back, that is, when the conservation of communication bandwidth still was arguably a valuable function. Now, with the Internet, bandwidth is virtually free in comparison - and the AP need no longer be "too big to fail."

So ole’ Jedidiah (The Flim Flam Man) is closing up shop and moving on. He's either going to run some more punch-boards or sell a few wind-farms. Depending on the suckers he runs across.
