One of the comments to this article refers to the whole mess as a "shell game". I think I agree.

Any, repeat, ANY product or firm that cites, mentions or purports GREEN in their mantra is one that I will boycott.

The tide will turn when companies realize “green” is a scam...

I was thinking more of "a cluster f***"

“For example, Coca-Cola’s announced this bombshell at the Copenhagen conference: It will reduce its own corporate carbon footprint by requiring Coca-Cola suppliers to reduce their GHG emissions. This means suppliers will have to account for their GHG emissions created during manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal of the products they sell to Coca-Cola.’

Of course, they are not refering to countries that are ignoring carbon footprints.

There might be one unintended good side-effect to all of this:

If things can be manufactured here with a lower carbon footprint than in foreign countries with laxer environmental controls, then we might get some of our manufacturing base back.

But of course the Chinese will lie and we will get the worst of all possible worlds: fewer jobs here, and more pollution there.
