Badlands National Park Goes Rogue, Tweeting Facts About Climate Change

HeadlineJan 25, 2017

As the news of the EPA media blackout broke Tuesday, the Twitter account for the Badlands National Park in South Dakota, part of the U.S. National Park Service, went rogue, publishing a series of tweets about climate change, including one that read, “Today, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than at any time in the last 650,000 years. #Climate.” The tweets were later deleted. Trump has also signed an executive order imposing a sweeping hiring freeze for all federal agencies, except for military and national security.
