Luncurkan Fan Page Facebook, Obama Bicara Soal Perubahan Iklim

Washington DC - Presiden AS Barack Obama akhirnya melaunching fan page Facebook official-nya. Dalam postingan pertama nya, Obama membahas masalah perubahan iklim.

Dilansir dari CNN, Selasa (10/11/2015), Obama memposting tulisan panjang tentang perubahan iklim yang dipadu dengan video dirinya saat sedang berjalan kaki di halaman belakang Gedung Putih.

Dalam postingan itu juga, Obama menjelaskan mengapa dirinya membuka fan page di Facebook. Menurut presiden kulit hitam pertama di AS itu, 3 dari 4 orang dewasa memiliki Facebook. Sehingga dia menganggap, Facebook adalah wadah yang tepat untuk mengekspresikan diri.

"Tiga dari empat orang dewasa di dunia online menggunakan Facebook, ini terasa seperti tempat yang bagus untuk melakukannya," tulis Obama dalam postingannya.

Obama juga bercerita tentang kebiasannya berjalan-jalan di halaman Gedung Putih. Dia berharap agar para pengguna Facebook mau bergabung dengannya untuk membahas masalah perubahan iklim.

Berikut Postingan pertama Obama:

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. (rvk/rvk)
