Да, да, точно така: от фалита на Lehman Brothers има и добри новини.
На първо място, утралевичарът Сорос получи един добър студен душ. През втория триместър на 2008, той чрез хейджфонда си закупи 9,5 милиона акции от фалиралата компания,
Reuters :
Even legendary fund manager George Soros, who runs around $18 billion (10 billion pounds) in assets, is likely to have been affected after raising his stake in the investment bank to 9.5 million shares in the second quarter.A spokesman for Soros Fund Management declined to comment on the composition of their portfolio.
Но тези, които получиха наистина здрав шамар са световните зелени. Ал Гор и Co. Lehman(като и ENRON преди време) бяха силно ангажирани в Carbon trading и Изпълнителният директор на Lehman, Theodore Roosevelt IV е фанатичен зелен, член на управителните съвети на няколко екологични организации(Pew Center for Global Climate Change), между които и Alliance for Climate Protection на Ал Гор.
Lehman Brothers, миналата година публикува доклад на тема “The Business of Climate Change”, който беше широко аплодиран от всички зелени организации.
Al Gore’s carbon trading business GIM was banked with Lehman Bros. It will be interesting to see how this will play in the future but I suspect that this increases the risk of participating in Carbon trading. Merrill Lynch, was also deeply involved in this business.
Last year Lehman Brothers released a long and highly publicized report about climate change in which they preached about decarbonization, trying to make their investors keep getting high profits from the Kyoto carbon trade scheme and the support of huge public subventions. All that, of course, with the applause of the usual choir of politicians, the entire media and the Greens.
A year ago they couldn’t predict their bankruptcy but were predicting the climate 100 years ahead. Thousands of green militants have been using the Lehman report as a proof of global warming and impending chaos. Lehman Bros said it! sacred words! Its scientific advisor is James Hansen! The report is the basis for policies on climate change in Spain, Argentina and several other countries playing the progress game; it is used by economy professors playing the climatologists; by newspapers editorials, and even by a State Secretary: Lehman Bros, said it!
…
But the story has some connections with Hansen being the ‘scientific’ adviser to Al Gore, who’s the Chairman of the Board of the Alliance for Climate Protection. As seen in Alliance’s website, the managing Director is none less than: Theodore Roosevelt IV. Managing Director, Lehman Brothers, Chair of the Pew Center for Global Climate Change.Theodore Roosevelt IV is Managing Director at Lehman Brothers and a member of the Firm’s senior client coverage group, which oversees the Firms client and customer relationships. Mr. Roosevelt is an active conservationist. He is Chair of the Pew Center for Global Climate Change, Vice Chair of the Wilderness Society, and a Trustee for the American Museum of Natural History, The World Resources Institute, the Institute for Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming, and a Trustee of Trout Unlimited.
Note again what Chris Horner asked here
. . . is this a bad time to ask where [the Alliance for Climate Protection] got that $300 million . . . ?
Наистина идва време за промяна.
