Coca-Cola leads cheering section for 1-world climate change taxes

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.

Here’s the letter that I sent to www.cokefeedback.com. Feel free to copy and paste it into your feedback form.

“I just read that Coca-Cola is one of the Founding Partners behind the website petition “Hopenhagen”. A “binding resolution” to use higher taxes to curb carbon emissions will result in higher energy costs to Americans. I find it baffling that your company supports such a resolution given the controversy surrounding the concept of man-made climate change,and the likelihood that such a tax will cause higher unemployment. I intend to boycott companies that use my money to promote such an agenda.”
