Badlands National Park Goes Rogue, Tweeting Facts About Climate Change
----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
