Snips from excerpt only website: Intercontinental Exchange Inc. will close its U.S. emissions derivatives platform, the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange, after the first quarter, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The company is shutting the exchange down as it is losing money and the chances of a federal carbon-reduction plan being put into place look slim, the Journal said.

Bummer.
Poor Al Gore and his emissions.
Sad...hope a bunch of folks lost their shirts!!
We owe Glenn Beck a debt of gratitude for exposing this scam.
Open weeping amongst America-hating Liberals.
“We owe Glenn Beck a debt of gratitude for exposing this scam.”
We certainly do. A lot of evil people lost a lot of money because of Beck’s tenacity and “guts.”
Obama's involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange - the rest of the story
Snip: It may be interesting to note that the Chicago Climate Exchange in spite of its hype, is a veritable rat’s nest of cronyism. The largest shareholder in the Exchange is Goldman Sachs. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is its honorary chairman, The Joyce Foundation, which funded the Exchange also funded money for John Ayers’ Chicago School Initiatives. John is the brother of William Ayers. What a flap when it was discovered that the senator from Chicago had nursed on Saul Alinsky’s milk, had his political career launched at a coffee party held by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and sat for 20 years, uncomplaining in front of the “God-dam-America pulpit of resentment-challenged Jeremiah Wright.
The same Chicago Climate Exchange promoting public rip-off was funded by Obama before he was POTUS.
Obama fails his Chicago thug friends again.
First he loses the Chicago Olympics, now the Chicago Climate Exchange—which was intended to make Chicago the new financial capital of the world.
That gives New York a few more years in that role.
Finally some friggin good news!
I regret to say that I hope Al Gore was heavily invested in this....
EEEEWWWWWOOO! Quick pass the brain bleach.
Yep, betting on our demise....FU buddy!
Uncle Gore will try to breath life back into its rotting corpse, much like the time the Enquirer reported on how scientists revived Lincoln's skeleton and claimed that he said, “Gentlemen, what are you doing.”
AGW, Enquirer’s Lincoln article. Equally believable
I agree with your sentiment however, we both know that if
Algore and Odumbo were “invested” in this scam, it was with
our money, not theirs. It’s how they roll.
The two biggest investors were Goldman Sachs and Al Gore’s London-based General Investment Management.

And here I thought ICE raided the place, and was closing it down ovwer employing illegal aliens.
