It started with tweets by Badlands National Park on climate change in defiance of a gag order by the Trump administration. When those tweets were deleted by bosses, up popped the renegade “AltUSNatParkService” site with more of the same. Now dozens of alternative Twitter sites purporting to represent workers at federal agencies are tweeting out a massive resistance to climate change denial and a perceived war on science and facts. By Thursday evening, the site that started the rogue trend, @AltNatParkService, had 1.2 million followers, three times as many as the official National Park Service site. The EPA was ordered to scrub climate change information from its website, though that command was later rescinded.
