Virender Sehwag has always been very active on Twitter; forget his hilarious jokes, Sehwag doesn’t hesitate to speak on social issues as well. People often appreciate his tweets and love the way he talks about everything. However, this time, the cricketer was slammed for his tweet on Global Warming.
Under PM Modi, India is contributing immensely to the Paris Climate Agreement. It is said that soon, a drastic change would be brought about in Global Warming. Yes, global carbon imprints might be reduced.
However, for Sehwag, this doesn’t seem to be the real issue. He took to Twitter to say that Global Warming is just a “Hoax”. He further added that traffic and congestion don’t affect India’s pollution levels.
The cricketer also stated that we must concentrate on “Real Issues” rather than paying attention to these things. According to Sehwag, Global Warming is in the US and not in India. Check out what he tweeted,
Global warning ho rahi hogi US mein.Traffic and congestions se India ke pollution par kya farak padta hai ! Concentrate on real issues !

Global warming is the real issue!
