Blackhawks’ Jonathan Toews speaks out on climate change in Instagram post
Hockey star Jonathan Toews says the only way to solve climate change is to set aside personal agendas and think on a broader scale.
The Chicago Blackhawks captain and two-time Canadian Olympic champion posted a picture on Instagram Friday night of himself walking through a wooded area, along with a lengthy message related to recent events.
“Do you believe in climate change?,” the post started. “Whether you’re super pumped that we are putting ‘Americans first’ or you are absolutely outraged at the idea that we are taking yet another step backwards in dealing with a major global problem, the only way to solve this argument is to try and set your own agenda aside and see how this affects everybody.”
The issue of climate change has been a hot topic after President Donald Trump decided to pull the United States out of the Paris climate-change agreement on Thursday. Trump rejected the 190-country agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
