A former seasonal employee at the Badlands National Park hijacked the facility's Twitter account on Jan. 24 and published several facts about climate change. As the story began to spread, he confessed to the South Dakota park's superintendent. "Fearing a gag order on climate science I willfully sent out a series of tweets on the subject," he wrote.
The employee's name was redacted from agency documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Bloomberg News.
