Coca-Cola leads cheering section for 1-world climate change taxes
World Net Daily ^ | November 21, 2009 | Drew Zahn

Posted on 11/21/2009 8:41:55 AM PST by raptor22

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.

Now I drink water and iced tea (not instant)

I would rather drink my own pee than instant iced tea. I'm a tea snob.

Gee and just think of all the landfill those billions of
Coke bottles and cans have taken up all these decades.

Or the energy expended in manufacturing products that kept dentists in business for years

What about CO-2 emissions? Coke has been the leading contributor to this green house gas with every pop of a soda can!

I went to the site and created a fictitious identity - Pepsi Drinker, and signed it saying, “Boycott Coke, Google & Yahoo!”

I’ve been a Coke drinker my entire adult life.

Just swore them off for good.

” I’m sure there are people here who think Coke sucks and Pepsi is just wonderful.”

Coke tastes way better than Pepsi. But I don’t like their New World Order politics.

So AG Holder has notified them that unless they roll over and do tricks they will be the next Tobacco Industry. It looks pretty much like the Chicago way is taking over...

Ditto that here for husband and myself. There will not be another Coca Cola purchase made by us either - we are now officially sworn off the stuff. We wanted to quit drinking it and never really had the impetus to do it - but they now have given us significant reason to actually quit drinking it. I hope Costco never comes to agreement with them! The large Coke glass I've had for years now has found it its way to the trash can.

I noticed phosphoric acid in colas about thirty years ago, and immediately stopped drinking them. I also stopped Aspartain cosumption and my headaches went away. Now its decaffe tea with real sugar, water, or juice.

Drop Coke a line if you feel like it...

BTW, like others on this thread I researched artificial sweeteners and stopped using anything with aspartame(nutrasweet) in it a few years ago. I find hot or cold tea (Lipton Black Tea) to be a good substitute for colas. I will have the occassional Pepsi One which uses “Splenda”. I went almost 2 years without having any soda of any kind. I also like to get flavored fizzy water. My favorite is “La Croix” brand water. It comes in great flavors and only has 2 ingredients, water and natural flavor. It’s a nice change from having tap water all the time.

Hmm. I quit pepsi because of the logo. Now I quit coke because I'm not into hopenhagen.

Major dilemma here. What to drink with the traditional Friday night pizza? Maybe I should quit pizza?
