From Nov. 1 through the end of February, Coca-Cola will release 1.4 billion white Coke cans in the U.S. and Canada, each showing polar bears against a field of white.

The state of Alaska filed notice on Friday that it will appeal a federal judge's ruling upholding the listing of polar bears as a threatened species.

The recent suspension of Alaska wildlife biologist Charles Monnett is unrelated both to an article that he wrote about presumably drowned Arctic polar bears or his scientific work, a federal official said Friday.

A U.S. wildlife biologist whose observation in 2004 of presumably drowned polar bears in the Arctic helped to galvanize the global warming movement has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigated for scientific misconduct, possibly over the veracity of that article.

A federal judge is upholding a decision by government scientists that global warming is threatening the polar bear's survival.
