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.

Patriots, please bear in mind that Congress has constitutional control over both the POTUS and the Armed Forces. So by not ordering the Navy to not establish new climate change rules, corrupt Congress is essentially establishing these new rules imo.
Remember in November !
Trump or Cruz needs to remove, and I mean terminate (not allowed to resign), these scumbags.
Collectively, we don’t deserve survival. If we’re so depraved we’d elect somebody like the Obamanation, there must be dire consequences for such depravity.
This is an insider, crony-capitalist scheme if I ever heard one.
Ever more qualifications and ridiculous mandates simply mean the long-term incumbents have even greater advantage.
I feel like i’m trapped in a freaking Greek Tragedy.
They finally have their wish. They will be able to totally take our the military. The left has hated them for decades. When he leaves office we won’t be able to fight a wet noodle.
Just wait....our nukes will be gone soon too. He said as much. Flexibility.
I am so glad that Secretary Mabus has been able to step in and fill the gap in this underappreciated aspect of maritime power. Additionally, he has helped the Navy cure its shortage of ships named after Democrat political figures.
It is good to know the two most critical components of Seapower are now covered. We can all sleep peacefully in our beds now.
The Navy needs to re-think this.
The need climate change, and the rising seas it brings.
So they can justify more ships for the larger oceans.
This is SO simple. Why make it ‘complex’?
It doesn't look good.
There is an inevitable tipping point and I think it was the 2012 Election when we allowed an avowed Marxist and Muslim sympathizer in the Presidency for the second time while knowing by then just who he was. At that moment, the downward slope went from about 25 degrees to 75 degrees because all the stops were loosed.
Acceptance of open criminality and corruption once established as the way of doing business is extremely hard to dislodge.
They can make all the Rules they want and when a Real Navy Secretary gets the job it will be fixed
DemoRats like to use the false argument that it’s okay to have a deficit because you owe it to yourself. To which I always reply, “Great! Then let’s all quit paying taxes too and just print money when we need it!”
This is a stealth jobs program for environmentalists, because people wanting to get the federal contracts have to pay someone to do these environmental impact studies.
“Srsly? They’re treating this like it really exists. Guess someone anchored off the Island of Moronica. Not my Navy anymore”
Moronic a has always been at war with Oceana.
He is a watermelon like the rest of these types, it will continue to be challenging for a long time to come.
Truly. Along with our military not hitting isis targets so they don’t commit environmental damage.
