‘In the crosshairs’: Department of Navy releases climate change strategy
NY Post ^ | 5/28/22 | Geoff Ziezulewicz, Military Times

Posted on 05/28/2022 1:34:46 PM PDT by Pollard

The Department of the Navy this week released its strategy for how it will deal with climate change and proceed toward the government’s goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

“Climate change is one of the most destabilizing forces of our time, exacerbating other national security concerns and posing serious readiness challenges,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said in the introduction to the 32-page report. “Our naval and amphibious forces are in the crosshairs of the climate crisis and this strategy provides the framework to empower us to meaningfully reduce the threat of climate change.”

Setting the department on a course to combat climate change is a main priority of Del Toro’s tenure. He called the issue “existential” for the Navy and Marine Corps.

“If we do not act, as sea levels rise, bases like Norfolk Naval Base and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island will be severely tested in their ability to support their missions,” he wrote in the report. “If temperatures continue to rise, the oceans will get warmer, creating more destructive storms requiring our Fleets and Marine Corps forces to increase their operational tempo to respond.”

If ocean levels rise, won’t naval ships rise as well?

Good Lord...sea levels might rise a few mm per year. It’s not like they are going to jump five feet in a year. They have DECADES to get ready.

“If temperatures continue to rise, the oceans will get warmer, creating more destructive storms.” That is pure CONJECTURE not supported by facts in evidence. There has been ZERO evidence of that.

Countries who handcuff their military with environmental and social justice restrictions will be defeated by those that don’t.

This is good news!
It will have the chicoms quivering in their boots... Probably it will cause the chicoms to shut down the globes largest shipbuilding program and send all of their biggest ships to the scrap yard for recycling...

The net result will be that, in 2050, the Aamerican communists (amcoms) who now rule us are not going to be more carbon-free than the chicoms...

The Climate A-Holes been able to criminalize any opposition to the lies. We used to laugh at them calling the truth tellers “deniers”. Well now you are silenced or worse if you tell the truth

“Climate change is one of the most destabilizing forces of our time, exacerbating other national security concerns and posing serious readiness challenges,”

I quit reading right there.

The Biden administration and its fellow travelers have done far more damage to citizens of the US than climate change will ever do.

Climate change has not raised the level of oceans as the fear mongers predicted for political reasons. I read just this week that Arctic ice is at a 30 year high.

Nor has it cut off our supply of fertilizer, has not cut off our supply of baby formula, driven up the price of diesel and gas, nor caused any change in our economic system.

Hunters shoot the dog that barks up the wrong tree. Politicians are lucky treat them more civilly.

Understand I am not suggesting that we shoot politicians, but a good boot in the ass would be appropriate.

The warroom this morning was severely disconcerting.

CCP has shifted to war footing.

Retrofitting cargo carriers
to ro-ro’s ( roll on- roll off )

45 days to convert
45 days to load

The S is 90 days from hitting the F

The only climate change our navy is about to confront is the change of climate from the surface of the ocean to the sea bed of the ocean.

It’s probably too late to pull the navies operational readiness out of their man vaginas.

Almost as if commies infiltrated our service academies and certain of its graduates placed into positions of command.

( Obama purge of 2008 his 1st week in office of 240 + flag level officers then filled with woke wonders )

TalyXiden has his made in CCP white unconditional surrender flag in his back pocket ready to wave .

Unless something changes in a good way immediately, we are forked.

Imho.

The amount of competent men and women in our navy that has been given their dd214’s cuz of their social media posts and vac refusals is fatal to its war readiness.

Again
Imho.
