National Park tweets climate change facts in defiance of Donald Trump
2017-01-26
So they're using private devices and accounts to keep the communications out of the government archive? Tut tut.
[INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] The Badlands National Park, located in South Dakota, has tweeted and deleted posts on climate change. The account is the latest from the National Parks Service (NPS) social media presence to post on topics off-message from the White House. ​

The tweets discussed information about how levels of carbon dioxide are at their highest in history, citing the Organic Act of 1916, a federal statute that calls for the preservation of lands for the "enjoyment of future generations."

Tuesday morning President Trump signed a series of executive orders giving the green light on the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines as well as expediting environmental reviews and approvals. Opponents argue that the pipelines will increase carbon emissions and contribute to the disastrous effects of climate change on the environment.

#5  And looking at ice cores and such, the average ppm of CO2 throughout the history of the planet is really more like 1200 to 1800ppm. We're in CO2 starvation according to an actual scientific paper I got off a government website. Dunno how they managed to get it on there considering it really doesn't help the warmers much.

#4  Thetweets discussed information about how levels of carbon dioxide are at their highest in history,

The 'history' of direct measurement that is only about 100 years out of 4,000 of recorded history.

#1  pipelines will increase carbon emissions and contribute to the disastrous effects of climate change on the environment.

So do all the vehicle miles driven by the NPS. So I assume they will walk everywhere from now on.
