WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, the Badlands National Park twitter account starting posting facts about climate change -- only for those tweets to be swiftly deleted, while others from the day remain. Its part of a disturbing trend that began with Donald Trump almost exclusively appointing climate deniers to his administration and continued when all references to climate change (& LGBT protections, protections for the disabled, and civil rights) were deleted from the White House website and a gag order was imposed on the EPA and other agencies this week.
Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune released the following statement in response:
“Climate change, climate change, climate change, climate change, climate change, climate change, climate change, climate change. Donald Trump may be imposing a new regime of climate censorship in his administration, but he can’t and won’t stop the American people from speaking out and standing up to his historically unpopular and ignorant Presidency.”
