Some salient notes and posts around the web. Interesting reading, interesting times!
“Carbon trading is a scheme that was proposed by Goldman Sachs, and has now made it through the White House and the Senate. It’s based on putting a cap on the emissions that a particular business is allowed to produce. Oil companies understandably aren’t thrilled about that, but they are still making some green by being closely tied in with financial and investment firms. So who really gains from this new carbon emissions trading system? Again, it’s the financial companies like Goldman Sachs who make the most on it, just like usual. The rich get richer and the poor get taxed. In 2009, the entire carbon emissions trading operation of Constellation Energy was purchased by Goldman Sachs“.
As Alan Caruba says;
“At what point will it finally occur to the pea-brained legion of journalists, academics, alleged scientists, United Nations propagandists, and others still blathering about “global warming” and “climate change” that there is no global warming and that the climate has been changing for the past 4.5 billion years on planet Earth?“
the first climategate scandal – and the over one hundred errors in the IPCC science that were revealed in its wake – were not enough. the apparent release of the Climategate 2.0 emails is just one more reason to halt the Obama EPA’s job killing warming agenda.

Jean,
We (Mike H) have done a modest amount of work on degree-days for G-S. They now want to extend this. They are involved in dealing in the developing energy futures market.
G-S (Goldman Sachs) is the sort of company that we might be looking for a ‘strategic alliance’ with. I suggest the four of us meet with ?? (forgotten his name) for an hour on the afternoon of Friday 12 June (best guess for Phil & Jean – he needs a date from us). Thanks.

Gee Trevor is it the green environment you are after or the greenbacks?
Until Mr. Mario Monti became the new Prime Minister of Italy he was an international adviser for Goldman Sachs. The 2010 Annual Report from Goldman Sachs lists him
In April 2010 New American reported that the following are just a few of the many Goldman Sachs associates that can be found in the Obama administration;
William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve of New York, is a managing director and partner of Goldman Sachs; Gary Gensler, hairman of Commodity Future’s Commission, spent 18 years at Goldman Sachs; Mark Peterson, chief of staff to Timothy Geithner, is a former lobbyist for Goldman Sachs; Philip Murphy, nominated for ambassador to Germany, is a former Goldman executive; and Diana Farrell, Deputy Director to the National Economic Counsel, was formerly with Goldman Sachs.
In Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, ex leader of the opposition sided with the government and pushed the global warming policies to the total disregard of the Australian people and the Liberal Party.
Chicago Climate Exchange which folded this week was setup with Obama, Gore, Goldman, Joyce Foundation CCX partners to fleece USA of around $10 trillion a year
Malcolm invests in climate change ; In less than 12 months the savings of millions of people will vanish and Goldman Sachs will rule the world ; Previous requests to Malcolm Turnbull to declare his financial interests in Global Warming and carbon trading have been met with a stony silence. Climategate 2 and the money go round ;
