"Obama said some legislators lost their seats in the House of Representatives partially for supporting a bill that would have curbed U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. The House of the Representatives passed the measure in 2009 but it did not get support in the Senate."

Obama says election hurts chances for climate reforms | Energy & Oil | Reuters

What he didn't say, apparently, is one new Democrat senator literally shot a bullet at the cap and trade bill in his TV campaign ad and even though I'm not a Democrat kind of like that guy.

The carbon tax exchange will be based in, you guessed it, Chicago... and called the CCX...The CHICAGO Climate Exchange http://www.chicagoclimatex.com/

The Joyce Foundation --A private U.S. foundation which provides funding and support to initiatives focusing on education, environment and employment in the Great Lakes region. The Joyce Foundation was established in 1948 by Beatrice Joyce Kean of Chicago . Since its inception, the foundation has made grants of more than $600 million. Some of those grants include $1.1 million to Richard Sandor in 2000-2001 to create the Chicago Climate Exchange. Former Board of Directors' members include President Barack Obama (1994-2002) and Valerie Jarrett, his top adviser.

Who will benefit from the Chicago Climate Exchange? You guessed it...Obama and his buddies, the Chicago crew.

Goldman Sachs will be the market maker and Al Gore owns the software company that will be used.

Calling pieces of paper or electronic bits "carbon" and trading it for money and that will save the world from climate change ?
Not even koolaid drinkers will believe that one.

This is coming form a person who is spending billions on taking an enterage to India. All those planes can't be good for the ozone. Once you lefties get that Obama doesn't actually care about the enviornment, the sooner you can get rid of him.
