The Obama administration launched @FactsOnClimate on Tuesday in a push for its climate change agenda. The Twitter account comes about six weeks before the topic takes center stage in Paris, where a new climate agreement will be crafted.

President Obama may head to Paris "to participate in those discussions" at the beginning of the two-week negotiating period that starts on Nov. 30, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters on Monday.

"You could certainly count him among the leaders who’s considering traveling to Paris," Earnest said.

The Twitter account follows recent administration efforts to sell its policies using specific social media accounts, such as the TheIranDeal.

President Obama has made global warming a legacy issue for his presidency. He has circumvented congressional obstruction on this issue — many Republican members of both chambers don't believe manmade global warming is a reality — by working to cut U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases using his authorities as part of the executive branch.

The U.S. has pledged to cut overall greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% by 2025, compared to 2005 levels, while also expanding the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The White House has worked closely with China, the world's top emitter of global warming pollution, to coordinate climate action in unprecedented ways. Last month, for example, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the White House that China intends to create a "cap-and-trade" system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Such a system was originally conceived in the U.S. to address acid rain in the 1980s and 90s, but Congress voted down a similar solution for global warming. China's system will be the world's largest.
