Sen. Reed sides with Derek Jeter

Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) agrees with Derek Jeter on climate change, but he's still a loyal Red Sox fan.

Although I'm a @redsox fan, Derek Jeter is right to call for addressing climate change: bit.ly/147TGrf

Jeter is in Davos, Switzerland as a guest of Pepsi for the World Economic Forum taking place this week. 

According to Jeter, living through Hurricane Sandy in New York last year prompted him to speak out on the topic.

"Regardless of how you feel about it, it's something that needs to be addressed because we're seeing more and more natural disasters each year, it seems like," he told The Columbus Dispatch. "Something has to be causing it."
