Chicago Climate Exchange

I think it's all a bunch of malarkey.

I think basically Al Gore and all of his goons got together and they created the Chicago Climate Exchange, which was going to be their grand idea for selling carbon credits.

And then what did they say? Oh, we need to measure everybody's carbon utilization so that we can tax you for polluting the planet.

What did he want to do? He basically wanted to set up his own little stock market so that he could be the distributors of the credits for people that were polluting.

Its entire strategy was to bet on companies that win when carbon gets regulated.

In 2007, the year the Nobel came, he joined Kleiner Perkins, the Silicon Valley venture firm, and he ran their clean tech fund and he put early money into the Chicago Climate Exchange, which is a market for buying and selling carbon credits.

And he co-founded a nonprofit that tracks emissions worldwide.

So before a single regulation was written, the guy ringing the alarm owned an investment fund, a venture fund, a carbon exchange, and the scoreboard.
