As wholesome as Motherlove and Apple Pie! How can the Coca-Cola Corporation resist allying itself to the latest feelgoodcause? Apparently the AGW bandwagon has moved so far that it is now safe for the icons of world capitalism uncritically to espouse it.  Excuse me while I puke (as the saying goes). |

Coca-Cola spearheads 1-world climate tax100 companies push '16 days left to seal deal' on $10 trillion treaty Posted: November 17, 2009 By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily 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. www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=116310Fine bedmates, eh Aubrey?

Didn't work though, did it?
It looks good to appear to be on the side of Polar bears, especially if you use them in your adverts.
It's pretty much the same thing as having cute animals in meat adverts, as if it's not them you're eating, or as if they're willingly giving themselves up. Or smiling fish on boxes of frozen fish. Or happy chickens used as a logo for chicken meat shops. Companies never like to show what they really do.

I'm glad to find you're still reading Aubrey! This effort is all for you, you know.
What, precisely, "didn't work", Aubrey?
No corporation ever failed through underestimating the gullibility of the public, did it?
