Carbon Program Obama Helped Fund

In 2000 and 2001 while Obama was a board member of a Chicago-based charitable foundation he was funding a pioneering carbon trading exchange that could fill the role in the controversial cap and trade carbon reduction scheme that he is trying to cram through Congress. .

During those two years, the Joyce Foundation 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 America's only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide."

One of those gases is carbon dioxide, the most ubiquitous greenhouse gas and the focus of the most far-reaching -- and contentious -- efforts to combat "climate change." On Monday, Obama's Environmental Protection Agency declared carbon dioxide a public health threat.

Do these people not realize that if there is no carbon dioxide plants will die! If plants die we die! Plants synthesize carbon dioxide into oxygen. The carbon dioxide is what plants eat!

The President of the Joyce Foundation in 2000, when the foundation made its first grant to the Climate Exchange, was Paula DiPerna, who is now executive vice president of the Chicago Climate Exchange in charge of corporate recruitment and public policy, as well as president of CCX International.
