Thousands of news articles have been published about CCX by the stae run media over the years, a Nexis search conducted a week after CCX’s announcement revealed no news articles published about its demise. Despite ending carbon trading, the CCX isn’t vanishing altogether. It intends to transition into the murky world of dealing in carbon offsets.
(NBC,CBS,ABC,NPR etc have promoted the myth of global warming or climate change. We have been told over and over that the earth was going to be destroyed by man because of his carbon emissions. The ccx was originally set up by al gore and barack obama. Barack obama funneled money to the CCX through the joyce foundation while he was a board member 1995-2002.)
The exchange's founder, Richard Sandor, says he knew Obama as far back as when the Joyce Foundation awarded money to the Kellogg Graduate School of Management, where Sandor was research professor.
A mechanism for extending carbon trading on the exchange to residences was purchased and patented by none other than Franklin Raines, who was CEO of Fannie Mae at the time. Raines profited to the tune of some $90 million by buying and bundling bad mortgages that led to the collapse of the American economy.
CCX's collapse was inevitable as both the enthusiasm for cap-and-trade — and the world itself — cooled. After the e-mail exchanges from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia reveled the extent to which global climate data were being manipulated to "hide the decline" in global temperatures, hopes for profiting off the scam with another scam evaporated.
Carbon trading at CCX all but dried up as prices plunged from over $7 a ton in 2008 to just 10 cents as of August.
The EPA still conspires to regulate carbon and other emissions through the back door.

Barack obama and al gore’s Chicago Climate Exchange Suffers Total Failure
Global warming-inspired cap and trade has been one of the most stridently debated public policy controversies of the past 15 years. But it is dying a quiet death. In a little reported move, the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) announced on Oct. 21 that it will be ending carbon trading — the only purpose for which it was founded — this year.
Although the trading in carbon emissions credits was voluntary, the CCX was intended to be the hub of the mandatory carbon trading established by a cap-and-trade law, like the Waxman-Markey scheme passed by the House in June 2009.
At its founding in November 2000, it was estimated that the size of CCX’s carbon trading market could reach $500 billion. That estimate ballooned over the years to $10 trillion.
Al Capone tried to use Prohibition to muscle in on a piece of all the action in Chicago. The CCX’s backers wanted to use a new prohibition on carbon emissions to muscle in on a piece of, quite literally, all the action in the world.
The CCX was the brainchild of Northwestern University business professor Richard Sandor, who used $1.1 million in grants from the Chicago-based left-wing Joyce Foundation to launch the CCX. For his efforts, Time named Sandor as one of its Heroes of the Planet in 2002 and one of its Heroes of the Environment in 2007.
The CCX seemed to have a lock on success. Not only was a young Barack Obama a board member of the Joyce Foundation that funded the fledgling CCX, but over the years it attracted such big name climate investors as Goldman Sachs and Al Gore’s Generation Investment Management.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the CCX’s highly anticipated looting of taxpayers and consumers — cap-and-trade imploded following its high water mark of the House passage of the Waxman-Markey bill. With ongoing economic recession, Climategate, and the tea party movement, what once seemed like a certainty became anything but.
CCX’s panicked original investors bailed out this spring, unloading the dog and its across-the-pond cousin, the European Climate Exchange (ECX), for $600 million to the New York Stock Exchange-traded Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) — an electronic futures and derivatives platform based in Atlanta and London. (Luckier than the CCX, the ECX continues to exist thanks to the mandatory carbon caps of the Kyoto Protocol.)
The ECX may soon follow the CCX into oblivion, however — the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012. No new international treaty is anywhere in sight.
While we don’t know how well Al Gore and Goldman Sachs fared on their investments in the CCX, we do know that there’s no reason to cry for Sandor. He received $98.5 million for his 16.5% stake in CCX when it was sold. Not bad for a failure that somebody else financed.
Incredibly (but not surprisingly), although thousands of news articles have been published about CCX by the lamestream media over the years, a Nexis search conducted a week after CCX’s announcement revealed no news articles published about its demise.
Outside of a report in Crain’s Chicago Business and a soft-pedaled article in a small trade publication, the media has entirely ignored the demise of the only U.S. effort at carbon trading. Even Glenn Beck, who has dedicated quite a bit of Fox News airtime to exposing the CCX, has yet to mention the news.
Despite ending carbon trading, the CCX isn’t vanishing altogether. It intends to transition into the murky world of dealing in carbon offsets. Once again, however, with the tide leaving on carbon regulation and increased concerns about fraudulent carbon offsets, the future of that market is quite uncertain.
With the demise of CCX carbon trading, only the still-pending Waxman-Markey bill is keeping cap and trade alive — technically, at least — in the U.S. According to JunkScience.com’s Cap-and-Trade Death Clock, however, Waxman-Markey only has about 60 days of life left before it, too, turns into a pumpkin.
Despite this good news, opponents of carbon regulation will need to remain vigilant. While radical greens and the rent-seeking “clean energy” industry are down, they are not out.
Though they will never again dare utter the term “cap and trade,” they will reformulate and rebrand carbon regulation in the form of a national “renewable electricity standard” (RES), a “carbon tax,” or perhaps something even more innocent and cuddly — like “free cotton candy for everyone (FCCE).”
The global warming mob will be back, with their old agenda and new deceit, in 2011. Given that Republican politicians have a long history of squishiness on environmental issues, the rest of us will need to be prepared to continue the battle against Marxist/socialist and economy-killing energy rationing and taxes.

Global Warming Movement is a, corrupt social phenomenon...strictly an imaginary problem, a crisis that obama and gore want you not to waste.

CCX was a monument to mass delusion, like a unicorn zoo or a leprechaun congress.
The House must conduct an investigation into this pyramid scheme.
We can only hope that the criminals who have been pushing this global scam are brought before a court…. and that they pay dearly for attempting possibly the biggest ponzi scheme known to the human race. I think Barry Obama should be the first to stand trial.
The beginning of the end of the AGW political scam was the release of the climategate emails. For the first time the data used for the IPCC reports was scrutinized by outside scientists. For political purposes the environmental socialists had to make the industrial gas CO2 as the main culprit in the hoax. The big problem was CO2 is only a trace gas in the atmosphere.
The environmental socialists for political reasons had to make the industrial gas CO2 as the main culprit in the AGW scam. The only problem was that CO2 is a trace gas in the atmosphere and did’nt quite fit into the warming scenario that they hoped for. So they “cooked the books” to make it appear as the main cause. HELLO CLIMATEGATE! Since the release of emails and scrutiny of the data by outside scientists the AGW scam has collasped faster than al gore can side step a debate. The political tide has now turned and people are waking up to the fact that they have been taken for a ride by the socilaist frauds that inhabit the MSM, academia and government whose main intentions were to pick the pocket of the american people, not to save the planet.
Global Warming Is The Greatest Redistribution of Wealth Ponzi Hoax Ever Perpretated Against Humanity.
(Obama himself is a hoax and a fraud. The irony of the imposter obama using the mass media to express something other than and especially opposite of the literal meaning of words is a demonstration of an IMPOSTER promoting a HOAX and himself.) Story Reports
