Not evil, just stupid: Warmist Don Shelby claims that Coca Cola "avoids using petroleum products"

For a warmist, what's not to like about a company in a completely non-essential business running tens of thousands of fossil-fueled vehicles to deliver massive amounts of planet-killing bottled water, along with untold numbers of drinks deliberately injected with global warming pollution?

Shelby says that he is not a scientist, that he doesn't go out and conduct experiments. He is not an expert on global warming but, as a journalist, he's an expert on experts. He is certain that 97 percent of scientists are certain that global warming is happening.

"Who am I to question that?" he said, "And on what grounds?"

One of Shelby's examples of an environmentally friendly business is the Coca Cola Company. The company has hybrid trucks, recycles water and avoids using petroleum products. Shelby says if Coke can do that, so can other businesses.

The real cost of bottled water - National - theage.com.au

Peter Gleick, president of the California-based Pacific Institute, which provides independent research and policy analysis on issues of development and the environment, recently calculated that demand for bottled water in the United States was burning up at least 17 million barrels of oil a year.

"And that's just the energy required to make the plastic resin and make it into bottles. It doesn't include the energy needed to get the bottled water to your local store," Dr Gleick says.

He estimates that the total amount of energy required for every bottle of water is equivalent, on average, to filling a quarter of a plastic bottle with crude oil.
