National park deletes tweets about climate science

A national park Twitter account has deleted tweets it sent early Tuesday about climate science.

A National Park Service official said the since-deleted posts came from "a former employee who was not currently authorized to use the park's account."

The official added that "the park was not told to remove the tweets but chose to do so when they realized that their account had been compromised."

Badlands National Park caught attention on social media Tuesday afternoon with a series of tweets focusing on the climate.

An up to 10 year offense.

And somebody else at the Park could be in hot water for not revoking his access to the Twitter account.
