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[. . .]
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.

Wall Street Journal??
Nooooooooooo, not my diet coke!!!
What is it with these corporations begging for taxes to "solve" a "problem" that isn't a problem?
Are they being blackmailed?
I stopped buying Pepsi products when that lady exec used her ...eh... “social finger” to designate the United States.
If this article is true, I’ve bought my last Coca Cola product.
Say it ain’t so, Mean Joe.
Looks like it's Diet Pepsi for me..
If I hadn’t quite the stuff cold turkey 6 years ago, I’d be doing it today.
Wow, I'm impressed that SEVENTEEN is on board.....
.....Where do I sign up?
I'm not impressed that Clear Channel is on board.
quite=quit
d’oh
I’ve gave up Coke a while back.
I drink Kool-aid mostly now. I can control the amount of sugar in them. And it’s real sugar not high fructose corn syrup. That or green tea.
And I just discovered Almond Brisk as a milk substitute. Doesn’t break out my skin. Tastes sweet, but I don’t see any artificial sugars in it.
Don’t buy their corn syrup and caffeine.
Geez, what is it with corp execs these days. No more Coke products for me. I think I’ll email the company, too.
Isn't Pepsi in love with Obama?.....
.....They modified their cans to look like the Obama campaign symbol.
My initial reaction exactly!
Looks like we've a lot of different things to boycott. It doesn't do any good to just pick out one "villain" and continue to patronize the rest......
You and I will pay the taxes.
What? They didn’t get the memo?

Maybe we need to turn up the volume on this!
I have bought my last Coca Cola.
Where does the 'editorial staff go from here?'
Seems in 'another time frame' this has already happened and we are just a bit slow at catching up. Like to think 'point of power' in present time; but the weight here, is heavy and gravitation 'is what it is'.
OK; erase THAT negative thought. . .and let us continue to marshall our defense and offense. . .and move forward.
Here is an email address to Coke Enterprises ccemail@na.cokecce.com
I’d like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves...
Seems Coke has been after this for a long time. I buy HEB store brand soft drinks made in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Ugh, I hate diet pepsi. I wonder if they make Welsh’s diet grape soda.
That means less money to buy Coke or other products. They are hurting themselves in the end with a slower economy.
Apparently modern corporate management really is as stupid as I thought.
Coke is far from a national company now. They are international and this shows where their allegiance is.
I just started back on my addiction to diet coke. Now I’ll have to “detox” once again!!
I am so into coca cola! Want that last one to be 'it'. . .but not sure. Am wondering, too; who are and 'what about' the hundreds of other companies/corpoations signing on here; beyhond those mentioned. Thought 'perhaps'; doubt that one could cut them all off...but will check more closely at 'who' and 'how' to make an impact here!
And feeling a great deal of hostility at these 'bona fide', great American- or so we thought - corporate establishments.
Well, that’s the end of Coca Cola products in this house.
****sigh****
"I'd like to teach the world to sing"
They always jump on whatever liberal bandwagon happens to be passing through.
Its a global company in a global economy. You’ll buy things that have no apparent ties to Coca Cola corp but the money will still go to them. They may own things as diverse as steel mills and tuna canneries all over the world.
Yes. . .remember the world ‘hum’ they were promoting. Now they just want us to lie ‘prostrate’ en masse.
I am not “addicted” to anything, however, I consume at least a 2 liter of DC every day. Pepsi products were banned from my house a long time ago.
Actually, all I need in a diet drink is some fizz and some caffeine. That’s breakfast..
Well, while Liberals sympathies abound here; am wondering on 'whose' letterhead was penned - so to speak - the initial and ongoing prosposals for this united effort?
George Soros? 'Who' or from what collective 'whom'. . .
It's more probable that they're like the geek who wears his first Nehru shirt two years after the Nehru shirt has gone out of style, and thinks he's being "cutting-edge."
The “real” Dr. Pepper, not the regular DP you buy at the grocery store, is made and bottled in Dublin, Texas, USA. If y’all haven’t quenched you’re thirst with the “real” stuff, you haven’t lived. It’s still made with cane sugar as called for in the original recipe. The few businesses (Chicken Express for one) who sell it will advertise it as Dublin Dr. Pepper and people will drive out of their way to get it. Fun reading the history of it at link.

Do better most days; but often. . .have to have my coffee; and with it; a small side of coca cola. . .
Perfect. Corporate bureaucracies are just as dense as government ones.
2 liter?? What are you going to drink now? Know of any other good diet sodas out there?
`I like the Walrus best,' said Alice: `because you see he was a little sorry for the poor oysters.'
`He ate more than the Carpenter, though,' said Tweedledee. `You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise.'
`That was mean!' Alice said indignantly. `Then I like the Carpenter best--if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus.'
`But he ate as many as he could get,' said Tweedledum.
I call it “Dopenhagen”
ANd as far as Coke products - I buy a lot more of the Kroger or Sam’s store brand if I just have to have that kind of beverage.
I am guessing there is some sort of back deal. "You support this and we'll tax you less as you pretend to cut gases."
Seems Coke has been after this for a long time. I buy HEB store brand soft drinks made in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Bump. . .
Time to start buying from the small companies - Adirondack & Polar beverages in the North East, etc.
Don’t forget to check what bottled water you drink - Pepsi and Coke are in that marketplace too.
I'm afraid that's an accurate assessment. Once they've determined that "global warming" is the "in" thing, the PR department swings into action; money is appropriated, reputations made, and promotions handed out. You're not going to turn that ship on a dime.
Have been sending e-mails re this story which is gaining some momentum; at least in 'blogdom' which means Fox News should be ready by middle of next week; if not before. (Have to line up the 'balance' for interviews, no doubt).
Do hope, this is making Al's head spin out of control with accompanying 'karma'. . .
Meantime, yes; story could use some 'bumps' and pings. . .
Thinking of copying it and placing it on car windshields of those who carry Obama stickers. . .and stick under mailbox flag of those you 'know' are Obamanauts. Also, an easy sharing - place inside Al's latest book on 'global warming'. . .off to the bookstore! Everybody!
Of course, the fundamental difference is that Coca-Cola cannot force its decision on us...
And eventually, will pay for its stupidity.
We drink untreated well water. Best stuff ever and it's free!
