La grabación muestra a Obama recorriendo el jardín contiguo a su despacho, que alberga un zorro, un halcón y mucha de las escurridizas ardillas de Washington. “Hay un montón de bichos aquí”, dijo Obama.
“Tenemos que preservar nuestro hermoso planeta para nuestros hijos y nietos. Y eso significa tomar medidas serias para abordar el cambio climático, de una vez por todas”, agrega el mensaje colocado en la página “President Obama” (www.facebook.com/potus).
Obama viajará a París a finales de este mes para participar de la cumbre mundial sobre cambio climático, con la esperanza de obtener apoyo general para alcanzar un acuerdo que permita limitar las emisiones de gas carbono.
Esta nueva página abierta este lunes es la cuenta oficial del mandatario, aunque en Facebook se encuentra otra con su nombre, que advierte que es manejada por una organización civil.
La página se suma a los esfuerzos que ha hecho la Casa Blanca por incursionar en nuevos mecanismos de comunicación para alcanzar a diversas audiencias.
Hello, Facebook! I finally got my very own page. I hope you’ll think of this as a place where we can have real conversations about the most important issues facing our country – a place where you can hear directly from me, and share your own thoughts and stories. (You can expect some just-for-fun stuff, too.)I’m kicking it off by inviting you to take a walk with me in my backyard – something I try to do at the end of the day before I head in for dinner. I say this often, but that’s because it’s always at the front of my mind: We’ve got to preserve this beautiful planet of ours for our kids and grandkids. And that means taking serious steps to address climate change once and for all. Now, we've made a lot of progress to cut carbon pollution here at home, and we're leading the world to take action as well. But we’ve got to do more. In a few weeks, I’m heading to Paris to meet with world leaders about a global agreement to meet this challenge.I hope you'll join me in speaking out on climate change and educating your friends about why this issue is so important. At a time when nearly three in four adults online use Facebook, this feels like a great place to do it. Share your thoughts in the comments, and pass this message on to folks you think need to see it.If we're all in this together, I'm confident we can solve this and do right by future generations.

I just launched my Facebook page with a video on climate change. America will lead on this. The time to act is now. https://t.co/WG5y1FbhIA
