The Only National Parks Employee Who Tracks Leaky Oil Wells Is Out of a Job Forrest Smith was forced to step down last month as the National Park Service’s chief petroleum engineer. He wasn’t replaced.

Forrest Smith was forced to step down last month as the sole employee at the National Park Service responsible for cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells at national parks across the U.S. He wasn't replaced. Now, the wells are at risk of spewing planet-warming gases and contaminating groundwater.

We appreciate all the new follows - thank you for being here! Resistance Rangers formed after the Valentine’s Day Massacre, when hundreds of #NPS staff were fired without warning. We’ve been busy fighting back ever since, and are glad to join the #AltGov family: check out some of what we’ve done:

While well intentioned, you are playing into this administration’s hand. They want to privatize and sell off public landsβ€”and force states to bear the costs of national parks. It’s well past the seven days you said Colorado could fund the park. Now what?

I’m proud to say that @noaa.gov and NCEI has released a 1 year retrospective on #Helene using ESRI Story Maps.

Resistance Rangers here, were a group of 1000+ off duty park rangers fighting the good fight. When we first started in February we tried to reach out to them, but they never got back to us. Follow us for how to get involved!

Defense Department will stop providing crucial satellite weather data Hurricane forecasters rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. That data will no longer be available as of Monday, June 30.

A decision that will make Americans less safe, with little explanation. The article alludes to vague "cybersecurity" reasons.

Where does your weather forecast come from? Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government.
