Will Cap and Trade make Al Gore a billionaire?

While watching an episode of Glenn Beck yesterday I learned something very interesting about Al Gore. Anyone who thought that Mr. Gore was fighting global warming because of his concern for the enviroment might want to read the following articles.

It appears that if Cap and Trade legislation passes Gore stands to benefit financially through the carbon trade market. Gore's Generation Investment Management LLP is a member of the Chicago Climate Exchange which began trading in 2003. The Chicago Climate Exchange began with the help of funding from the Joyce Foundation, a Chicago based charity. The Joyce Foundation under the direction of it's board of directors,which included future U.S. President Barack Obama, gave over $1 million to help fund this exchange. The Chicago Climate Exchange bills itself as the only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases in North America.

I would say that in the very least this is a serious conflict of interest on Gore's part. The following links are to articles describing his role as well as the roles of others in the area of global warming and cap & trade. Read the articles and you will see that Cap and Trade legislation if passed constitutes a conflict of interest for Gore, President Obama, and several others.

I have included just a few links to articles on this subject. There are many more online but I have yet to find anything about this in the U.S. mainstream media.
