You have to read DEEP into press releases on the campaign to see any reference to "climate change," so I'll give Coke credit for being savvy enough to want to have it both ways, but . . .
Coca-Cola Can Goes White to Save the Polar Bear:
"This campaign is about working together to save one of the most important places on Earth," said Gerald Butts, President and CEO of World Wildlife Fund Canada. "As sea ice continues to melt at alarming rates, polar bears and local communities alike are threatened. With Coca-Cola's support, we can expand our reach and impact to help chart a sustainable future for this critical Arctic ecosystem."
But that sure conflicts
with the data,
'Arctic rent seekers experts tell us that the ice is melting “faster than predicted.” Interesting conclusion, given that US Navy PIPS2 data shows that since 2008 the area of 2.5+ metre ice has nearly doubled and now covers almost the entire Arctic Basin. NSIDC also shows that the area of multi-year ice has substantially increased since 2008'

Yes, we all know Global Warming is a hoax perpetrated by scientists to bring about a Marxist revolution. However, the chart your guy referenced seems to have omitted the fuller data which shows 4 and 5+ year ice actually decreasing.

Sean! It is great to see a comment from you, and I'm glad to see that you are coming around on this issue . . . though I might disagree about the Marxism--I think a lot of this is "useful idiocy."
That being said, we can conclude that the thickness of polar ice cap is lower than it has been at other times in history but then still there's the question of what to do about it: let's cripple the World economically to have a miniscule impact on what some people believe is the cause of warmer temperatures!!
Naaaah.
I know you disagree, but I am glad to hear from you.
