#20900 — Does Coke have less fizz?

It has seemed to me for a while now that Coca Cola doesn't
fizz as much as it used to when I open a bottle.  Are they
using less carbon dioxide?

Agreed: fountain sodas too: Coke and Pepsi.
I'm no chemist, unsure if it's the water or CO2.

Not sure of those sodas as I don't drink them.  Remember that some leaders 
decided to blame CO2 on glabal warming even when there is no clear 
relationship.  Climate change always happens and is the result of many cyclic 
factors. Human causes can be reversed or prevented, but only a few cities 
have determined that planning was to blame, and restoring the vegetation 
cools the local weather again.

This was obvious when I moved from the midwest to Orlando, FL, after college.  
They paved nearly all the areas of the cities and and spaces nearby.  The 
heat could be escaped by a simple 10-15 mile journey to a mostly green nature 
park or to the coast.  There could be a good 15-25F difference in temperature 
where the natural areas were preserved.

One study at least shows that CO2 lags temperature.  No, I don't have a 
reference :-)

Miserably hot and dry riding a motorcycle down Fed 395 in Kalifornia in 
August, and then you come upon an alfalfa field.  More than 20 degrees 
cooler, damp and wonderful and then you're through it and the oven door 
opens again.  There's a reason I keep the weeds (and some grass) alive 
in my front yard.  They don't really demand a LOT of water.  It's not 
like I'm growing almonds.
