In case you missed it, President Obama finally joined Twitter. POTUS engaged his followers earlier today in a live chat about climate change, and users did not shy away from asking him tough questions, particularly around his administration’s recent approval of Shell’s plans to drill in the Arctic.
Nice job @BigBennyFl!
.@BigBennyFL 3/ already rejected Shell’s original proposal as inadequate which shows we’re serious.

.@BigBennyFL 2/ But since we can’t prevent oil exploration completely in region we’re setting the highest possible standards

And of course, we took the opportunity to tell POTUS to #SaveTheArctic!
.@POTUS – actually, YOU have the power to #SavetheArctic, not just minimize the damage. https://t.co/GDfezMhiDY
