So.... Coca-Cola has white cans now, to save the polar bears.

Does it taste subtly different to you or do suffer from a case of....

RED WUNZ TASTE BETTA!

You know, we joke with orks and all, but that effect is totally real when brand loyalty is involved.

Now where is my save the Grots Coca-Cola?

Probably not. The 350ml cans they have in Iraq taste different, but not two cans from the same plant, nope.

Agree with Auston. Its the metal make up of the can.

They usually start white thought before they are processed at the painting plant.

Is it bad that I can't stop laughing at that picture?

Ribs. I have an clipping of this in a portfolio somewhere, I think it's from National Geographic and it's a whale.

There is a problem with the polar bears?

Studies the last 5 years show 17 of the 21 colonies studied are increasing in numbers, 2 stable and 2 slight decline in numbers.

The study sighted by Al Gore (finding the dead polar bears) was an afternoon cruise around hudson bay in a boat after a massive storm and they found 4 dead polar bears in the water, but they never retrieved the bodies to find cause of death, age, levels of nutrition or health and wrote it up as a gglobal warming cause to ensure the next round of funding.

Three out of Five Polar Bears recommend dentists.

According to the IUCN study into the risk to polar bears, it is believed bear numbers could reduce by around 30% over the next 35 to 50 years due to global warming trends. Tracking bear numbers over a 5 year period, during which global warming cycles have temporarily offset the longer term pattern doesn't show anything to challenge that finding.

Can we please stop with the "Al Gore said something highly emotive, and here's a study taken out of context to prove him wrong" stuff. It just doesn't achieve anything.

Just the bear facts then?

I think that's all the puns this thread can bear.

When did AL Gore start becoming relevant to dems/liberals again, and shouldn't he be working on the next internet?

Al Gore certainly polarises opinions.

That would be a study based on the computer models RE: global warming which showed continued rise in global temps that in real life have been non existant for the last 12 years?
The same models that provided studies that showed the Arctic was supposed to be completely ice free in summer from 2010?

I think he was relevant for about a six month to one year period after the release of his movie.

After that I think he's pretty much served as an attack target for anti-climate change people to shout at, so they can avoid addressing the science that is overwhelmingly against them.

So 97% of climate scientists active in the field believe global warming is real, and caused by man, but you know better?

White cans save the polar bears how?

So Cola have joined forces with the KKK to keep the arctic white?

Polar bears don't cotton to no darkies (grizzly bears).

I was being facetious

Then there's the poor mulattoes (Pandas), caught in between.

Though I am given to understand that Grizzlys do cotton...

Well if you're 1/16 then I'm afraid the polar bears consider you non polar bear.

I'm looking forward to White Powerade.

Gross.

Even better.
