The Navy will become the first branch of the military to require big vendors to report their greenhouse gas emissions and to outline what they are doing to lower them in response to global warming.
"We've got skin in this game," Navy Secretary Ray Mabus told a technology conference on government and climate change on Tuesday, noting that the Navy's fleet is the military's largest user of fossil fuels.
The Navy will not immediately begin implementing the requirements, which could cut off vendors from receiving contracts unless they comply.

Next we’ll have to write an environmental impact study before using any weapons.
Heck the paperwork trail to use a nuke has to be tremendous. The tricky part is the study to make sure there are no snail darters or other at risk lifeform in the target area.
With Barry forgiving $7 billion in student loans the fat lady is in the building and the band is tuning up.
No doubt the chicoms and russkies follow the same idiotic nonsense. Holy cow.
You realize, don’t you, that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is quite mad....
Excuse me, I’m paying them to protect the bleepin’ country, not worry about emissions. They’ll be seeing a lot of the wrong kind of emissions if China, Russia and a few others get a wild hair.
Someone needs to right this ship. Literally.
Sure they may have ‘skin in the game’...but do they have ‘brains in the game’?
Now a toilet on an Aircraft Carrier will cost $15 million...
Srsly? They’re treating this like it really exists. Guess someone anchored off the Island of Moronica. Not my Navy anymore.
We should be so lucky. He's not insane. Neither is his boss, 0bama the Execrable, insane. They're all deliberately destructive. If they were nuts, they'd occasionally get something right even if for the wrong reason. In the 0bama Regime, everything is calculated to the utter destruction of these United States of America.
I read that some Navy ships are operating with bio fuel that costs about $25 per gallon. I wonder who got the gubmint contract for that. Mabus has got to be the worst SECNAV in history.
Don't laugh. A county official here has to write an environmental impact statement for anything he does with gummint funds. Latest was to mount a flat screen display on an inside wall. Generally these run to about 30 typewritten pages. Fortunately he has a lot of boiler plate.
I suspect that thousands of WWII sailors are spinning in their graves at this treasonous action.
This is bad news.
Ray Mabus is an idiot.....
The only skin the suckratery has is in his mouth
Yup ... he's gay
“But I feel much annoyed by an event which is about to take place to-morrow; at seven o'clock the earth is going to sit on the moon. This is foretold by the famous English chemist, Wellington. To tell the truth, I often felt uneasy when I thought of the excessive brittleness and fragility of the moon. The moon is generally repaired in Hamburg, and very imperfectly. It is done by a lame cooper, an obvious blockhead who has no idea how to do it. He took waxed thread and olive-oil—hence that pungent smell over all the earth which compels people to hold their noses. And this makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon.
When I now pictured to myself how the earth, that massive body, would crush our noses to dust, if it sat on the moon, I became so uneasy, that I immediately put on my shoes and stockings and hastened into the council-hall to give the police orders to prevent the earth sitting on the moon.
The grandees with the shorn heads, whom I met in great numbers in the hall, were very intelligent people, and when I exclaimed, “Gentlemen! let us save the moon, for the earth is going to sit on it,” they all set to work to fulfill my imperial wish, and many of them clambered up the wall in order to take the moon down. At that moment the Imperial Chancellor came in. As soon as he appeared, they all scattered, but I alone, as king, remained. To my astonishment, however, the Chancellor beat me with the stick and drove me to my room.”
I believe most of their “science is plagiarized from Gogol.
