In August, The Examiner reported that the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) was laying off employees.
Two months later, drowned out by the hubbub of the mid-term elections, came an Oct. 21 announcement that CCX would end carbon trading which, as PajamasMedia’s Steve Milloy pointed out, was “the only purpose for which it was founded.”
Funded by the left-wing Joyce Foundation, whose former board included none other than future president Barack Obama, Northwestern University professor Richard Sandor set up CCX as a “voluntary” method of trading “carbon credits.” It was envisioned as the main clearinghouse for what would eventually have been a $10 trillion decidedly non-voluntary market had cap-and-trade legislation passed the Senate as it did the House.

I hope $oros spent a bundle on it.
That’s all right. Barry may have lost the Chicago mob its climate exchange, which was part of a plan to replace New York as the country’s financial center, but at least he got them the Olympics.
Oh, wait. . . .
And appears miraculously somewhere else, don’t be fooled my friends like ACORN was defunded and is now under another alias, Like Jones stepped down and is now working in the shadows, it is not over.
They went away just like William Ayers.
Yep. The marxists we’re dealing with today are the same marxists who “gave up” in the 60s and 70s and they’re a lot wiser today.
I’d have to really dig through my posts, but the Chicago exchange was slated to die...months ago...as posted right here on FR...
This is such old news.
I’ll be damned, a new wrinkle on an old sin. Simony.
Oh yeah, the Olympics. That was so many failures ago, I almost forgot about it. Barry really has been driving that fail train pretty much since day one.
Now if Algore would just fade away with it. With his girth that is probably asking to much.
so who won and who lost??? other than the Goron...
Seriously, there WAS a carbon trading exchange? How arrogant!
