Arsenal defender Héctor Bellerín has taken to social media to respond to US president Donald Trump's statements on global warming.
Trump is a vocal global warming denier and today gave his on the cold weather patterns currently taking hold of the US Midwest.
The US President called for "Global Waming (sic)" to return and combat the cold conditions. This is in keeping with the US President's track record on the matter. Last month, he rejected a report by his own government warning of the devastating effects of climate change.
It provoked Spaniard Bellerin to respond and declare "this kinda nonsense it's not normal for a man of his age."

The Arsenal defender is a particularly unique individual in the current closemouthed environment. He has spoken publicly on pollution, mental health and the role footballers need to play in society.
In a Real Talk interview last year, he called on his fellow professionals to use their platform.
As footballers we have a massive platform that we should be using way more than we actually are. I know it’s very comfortable to sit at home and stay with your family, kids and friends and not worry about anything. But with the platform we have we should be the people that scream at the social issues and put them out there so as a society we can move forward.
