It’s time for all you climate change deniers to get with the times.
President Obama has pushed for environmental reform with his Climate Action Plan, and now the White House is taking the initiative to the Twitter sphere. The new account, @FactsOnClimate, aims to raise awareness of just how bad the state of the environment has become, and the desperate need for action.
They started out the social media campaign with a somewhat ominous tone:
Climate change threatens us all, and it will take all of us to solve it. Get the facts on how we can: https://t.co/D0uInQ4O6t #ActOnClimate

They continue by informing the public about current global actions being taken to respond to the pressing issue of climate change:

And applauding those who are pledging to join the fight:

Plus, they’re making sure the public knows that other areas that need to be reformed, like the job industry, can also benefit from increasing climate change action:

Essentially, the White House is letting us know that it’s time to address the issues of climate change now. It’s no longer something we can deny, nor is it something we can put off until tomorrow.
