Or it could be that they do it every year and coke's polar bear is part of the holiday season >.>
I wonder if companies budget paying for these news articles as "advertising".

Ignore our product branding...
Huh. Lots of cynicism here.
I don't care about the whys and wherefores of this. They're raising money for a good cause. I believe they were committing up to 3 million.
Good enough for me.

I have a better idea to save the polar bears.
Stop shooting them!!
"And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can mostly say they lived happily ever after. But for them it was the beginning of the real story. All there life in this world and all there adventures in Narnia had only be the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of The Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before" - C.S Lewis, The Last Battle.

While I applaud the effort of trying to help the Polar Bears, and I particularly love the Cola Bears, as I've come to call them when they show up in the Coke commercials...
There's no saving them. They're doomed. Of course, the very idea of using ICE (which melts, mind) as a 'solid ground' to hunt from is just silly, and of course, a bear would do it.
I won't get into the argument of whether Man is responsible or it's just the world doing a cyclical change that's so vast we don't have any good records to say it's that... I'll just say that like many other species, you must adapt or die. This is one of those times.
It's unfortunate, but really... If it were that somehow Man were to stop its warming efforts, ore better yet, never have been involved in it... and the ice melted anyway? What are we to do then?
Methinks it's just advertising overall... but again, I do applaud trying. I think the money could be better spent, but hey, if it makes ya feel good, then it's pretty decently spent money.
/and no, I didn't read the whole article... these are my thoughts. If it's similar, then hey, logic works...

CocaCola has always given money to the save the polar bear things since they've been endangered and coke has been using the image.
Current estimates put the wild polar population somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000. That's around 3-5 times greater than the number of tigers (of all subspecies) left in the wild. Kellogg's needs to step up to the plate.

Thought for the day:
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."
=][=
"We think this is a really bold move."
They changed...the color...of the can.
Beating off a mugger. That's bold.
Starting a new business. That's bold.
Standing up to your boss when he's so wrong he's about to implode into a wrong-singularity. That's bold.
Having Coke actually donate a significant chunk of their yearly profits to help polar bears. THAT'S bold.
This is just a cheap "warm and fuzzy" by people who wouldn't know bold if they were run over by the entirety of a 50-mile long convoy of it...TWICE.
