Coca-Cola leads cheering section for 1-world climate change taxes
If you haven't read the Copenhagen Treaty I suggest you do so, lots of nasty stuff in there. Including the fact you won't be able to sell your home unless you update it to a 'green' level. Ahem...more foreclosures and furthering the plan to remove private property. Welcome to totalitarianism folks.

Hopenhagen "passport"
Coca-Cola is spearheading a coalition of more than 100 companies
pushing a United Nations climate treaty to bind the U.S. to cap-and-trade emissions regulation, commit the world's wealthiest nations to a potential $10 trillion in foreign aid and, possibly, form a proposed international "super-grid" for regulating and distributing electric power worldwide.
Together with the SAP and Siemens corporations, Coca-Cola launched a website called Hopenhagen, leading up to the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, which opens on Dec. 7. The website invites the citizens of the world to sign a petition demanding world leaders draft binding agreements on climate change and advertises, as of today, "16 days left to seal the deal."
Other "friends" of Hopenhagen include media outlets Newsweek, Discovery Channel, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, The Wall Street Journal and Clear Channel, among others, Internet giants Yahoo, Google and AOL and dozens of other companies and organizations.
As WND reported, however, Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, asserts the real purpose of the U.N.'s meeting in Copenhagen is to use concern over "global warming" as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.
He has warned the proposed Copenhagen agreement would cede U.S. sovereignty, mandate a massive wealth transfer from the United States to pay reparations for "climate debt" to Third World countries and create a new "world government" to enforce the treaty's provisions.
And even if Monckton is merely fanning the flames of fear in those suspicious of the U.N., Coca-Cola's "Hopenhagen" project isn't doing anything to put out the fire:
"We're all citizens of Hopenhagen," boasts the website, adding, "Hopenhagen: Population 6.8 billion."
"Sign the Climate Petition and become a citizen of Hopenhagen," the website encourages.
Specifically, the petition states:
"We the peoples of the world urge political leaders to:
* "Seal the Deal at COP 15 on a climate agreement that is definitive, equitable and effective
* "Set binding targets to cut greenhouse gases by 2020
* "Establish a framework that will bolster the climate resilience of vulnerable countries and protect lives and livelihoods
* "Support developing countries' adaptation efforts and secure climate justice for all."
"We also believe that anything is possible if we work together," states Coca-Cola on the Hopenhagen site. "That's why we're collaborating with governments, NGOs, other businesses and our consumers, to help tackle global challenges like climate change."
A closer look at the "deal" Hopenhagen is hoping to "seal," however, reveals a call to unprecedented levels of international regulation and wealth redistribution and includes many of the measures Monckton decries as an effort to "impose a communist world government on the world."

Ahhh the irony
If the BS propaganda were true and carbon was the devil incarnate, Coca Cola (and other CARBONated beverages) would be the liquid seed of Satan, so to speak.
Every time I hear a Coke go 'quesh' I feel the planet get a little hotter.lol!!!
Is Coca Cola cutting their own throat?

Just look at the official
Just look at the official site of there little green movement.

Look at the fancy artwork. The intro said something like 'this will determine the fate of our planet'. I guess they have to throw in the pretty designs and scare tactics, based off of complete nonsense.
I wouldn't mind pouring gasoline over the united nations right about now and setting it a flame. Not the innocent placid people who live there just the elitist psychopaths that push these agendas.

I am tempted to sign the petition..
with a few choice words of my own..
like
Freedom gives me Hope and this Globalism equals Slavery..
but they want my name and info so guess not.
Thanks for the link. It is worth a look.

So, what has Coke done to the earth lately?
Caused severely declining water table levels in India? Taking water needed by farmers and for drinking water even during times of drought? Is there a link between this squandering of water resources and now lowered rainfall in the area?

Thanks for the heads-up
.
The Copen'-hog-tie bill is pure trash.
Coke just lost my business. Pepsi makes makes 'throwback' with REAL sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. Is Pepsi one of these 100 companies?
CostCo also just pulled Coke.
Is Costco one of the hundred companies?
That would be ironic, but not be surprising.
Costco yanks Coca-Cola from its shelves, but don't cry for Coke

Costco (COST) customers looking for "the real thing" now have to look elsewhere: The warehouse retailer said on Monday that it's no longer buying Coca-Cola (KO) products. Once stores run out of their dwindling supplies, they won't be restocking.
Costco is playing hardball; negotiations between the two companies to reach a recession-ready wholesale price have apparently broken down. Costco acknowledges this problem on its Web site: "Costco is committed to carrying name brand merchandise at the best possible prices. At this time, Coca-Cola has not provided Costco with competitive pricing so that we may pass along the value our members deserve."
Narrow Margins
It's an uncommon move for Costco, but not a surprising one. Consumers are looking for ways to squeeze their budgets, and retailers are trying to increase profits while cutting prices. That's been a hopeless quest for Costco this year; the 3% pretax profit margin it posted between 2004 and 2007 is now just 2.5% --
