After a National Park Service account went rogue on Tuesday and began tweeting climate change facts — which were quickly deleted — an unofficial account purporting to be run by NPS staffers picked up the resistance to President Donald Trump. 
 
 The official Badlands NPS account drew widespread attention on Tuesday with its tweets on climate change, which followed stop-and-start “gag orders” from Trump’s administration on the Twitter accounts of the national parks. Now the unofficial account has picked up a similar call-to-action message on climate change. 
 
 “AltUSNatParkService” is billing itself as “The Unofficial ‘Resistance’ team of U.S. National Park Service. Not taxpayer subsidised! Come for rugged scenery, fossil beds, 89 million acres of landscape.” A pinned tweet on its page notes, “Can’t wait for President Trump to call us FAKE NEWS. You can take our official twitter, but you’ll never take our free time!” 
 
 Tweets from the account have covered everything from climate change data to resistance to pipelines. In between serious tweets, the folks behind the account are not afraid to strike a lighthearted note: 
 
 The account quickly gained 170,000 followers. ||||| Story highlights The tweets have since been deleted 
 
 This isn't the first time this has happened with park accounts 
 
 Washington (CNN) The Badlands National Park official account tweeted statistics about climate change on Tuesday that could contradict how President Donald Trump's administration may want to present it. 
 
 The tweets were up for a few hours before they were deleted. 
 
 "Today, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than at any time in the last 650,000 years. #climate," one of the tweets read. 
 
 In a statement, the National Park Service blamed "a former employee who was not currently authorized to use the park's account" for the tweets, which the NPS said they deleted of their own accord. 
 
 "The park was not told to remove the tweets but chose to do so when they realized that their account had been compromised. At this time, National Park Service social media managers are encouraged to continue the use of Twitter to post information relating to public safety and park information, with the exception of content related to national policy issues," the National Park Service statement said.

– As President Trump puts "gag orders" on federal agencies, including the EPA and USDA, pockets of defiance are appearing. On Tuesday, someone running the Twitter account for South Dakota's Badlands National Park—part of the National Park Service—started tweeting facts about climate change, Vanity Fair reports. Those facts included, "Burning one gallon of gasoline puts nearly 20lbs of carbon dioxide into our atmosphere" and, "Today, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than an any time in the last 650,000 years." The tweets were later deleted but can be viewed here. CNN reports the facts may have run afoul of what the Trump administration wants people to believe about climate change, which the president has previously called a "hoax." The Democratic National Committee responded to the deletion of Badlands National Parks' tweets by saying "Putin would be proud." Meanwhile, the park's Twitter followers ballooned from 7,000 to 70,000 while it was tweeting about climate change.
