Ettore Messina has signed. But it’s not about basketball

Ettore Messina signed

As soon as it was published Ettore Messina signed GreeneBlue’s petition in support of the climate scientists’ appeal letter. “I think it’s a matter of civic duty,” the Olimpia Milano coach told ‘Repubblica’. The initiative did not come from just any people, it came from people who have specific expertise in climate and have been taking responsibility for years to warn us about what is happening. Then, in the midst of the confusion of ideas in which we find ourselves, the climate crisis is a fundamental issue both for us and for those who will come after.”

“I’m just a frightened ignoramus, trying to inform myself,” added the Italian champion. “I was struck that scientists who are different from each other even in political culture came together to show us the way to unity. As far as I’m concerned, however, it’s a path I’m on my own, I haven’t asked anyone to sign, not even my wife, if she feels she will.”
