Cap-And-Trade: While senators froth over Goldman Sachs and derivatives, a climate trading scheme being run out of the Chicago Climate Exchange would make Bernie Madoff blush. Its trail leads to the White House.
Lost in the recent headlines was Al Gore's appearance Monday in Denver at the annual meeting of the Council of Foundations, an association of the nation's philanthropic leaders.
"Time's running out (on climate change)," Gore told them. "We have to get our act together. You have a unique role in getting our act together."
Gore was right that foundations will play a key role in keeping the climate scam alive as evidence of outright climate fraud grows, just as they were critical in the beginning when the Joyce Foundation in 2000 and 2001 provided the seed money to start the Chicago Climate Exchange. It started trading in 2003, and what it trades is, essentially, air. More specifically perhaps, hot air.

Global Warming on Free Republic
Obamas involvement in Chicago Climate Exchangethe 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 Americas only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.
And thats 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 worlds first and North Americas 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 himselfthe 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.
Thats because he spends most of his time in China where he has been working to make the communist country the worlds 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

Great research here from listener Keri on the truth behind Cap & Trade
You know it’s junk science. And maybe you’ve wondered if it really isn’t about science at all. This will be a long read but its worth it. Links are embedded throughou, but not on the link page— far too many to list. Infact it’s so long that I moved it here to it’s own page. It’s worth your time to digest. You’ll come away disgusted, but you’ll fully understand what’s happening and it’s beyond anything you’ve imagined. Follow the money and weep.
(List of the players, too.)
BUMP!
BUMP!
This is an issue worthy of every FReeper’s (and every American’s) time, talents and treasure.
Literally, the “Cap-and-Tax” scam is the largest and most complex FRaud ever attempted in the history of the World!
It has been in the works for years, and there are many co-conspirators who must be perp walked. Thankfully, the emails outlining FRaudulent temperature data were released just in time.
I don’t want to contemplate what would be happening now had those emails not been released and publicized.
It will behoove all of us to make war against these Environmental Whackos!
They are making war on us, and we must respond in kind!
