Formula One star uses his esteemed platform to address climate change
Sebastian Vettel takes aim at Alberta's oilsands operations, as province's energy minister charges 'hypocrisy' Sebastian Vettel arrived at the Montreal Grand Prix wearing his thoughts about climate change on his T-shirt. The Formula One star from Germany arrived at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in a T-shirt with "Stop Mining Tar Sands," and "Canada's Climate Crime" under the picture of a pipeline. He's wearing a helmet with the same slogan this weekend. "I think what happens in Alberta is a crime because you chop down a lot of trees and you basically destroy the place just to extract oil and the manner of doing it with the tarsands, oilsands mining, is horrible for nature," Vettel said, when asked about the T-shirt at a news conference Friday. "There's so much science around the topic that fossil fuels are going to end, and living in a time that we do now these things shouldn't be allowed anymore and they shouldn't happen." "It's just to think about future generations and the world we leave in their hands, it's only fair to look after it and not destroy it." It's not the first time the Aston Martin driver has used his platform to address environmental issues. At the Miami Grand Prix last month, he wore a shirt that read: "Miami 2060 — 1st Grand Prix Underwater — Act Now or Swim Later." https://www-cbc-ca.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6493309
