Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said he sees fighting climate change as a top priority for the Navy as the Biden administration proposes shrinking the fleet by two ships and worries grow about how the U.S. Navy stacks up to China’s.
"As the Secretary of the Navy, I can tell you that I have made climate one of my top priorities since the first day I came into office," Del Toro said March 1 in remarks at the University of the Bahamas.
Del Toro said he met with Bahamas Prime Minister Philip Davis during his visit and spoke "at length" with him about the climate crisis and focused the bulk of his remarks on climate.
"The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps team has been working on climate and energy security for a long time," he said. "And we are accelerating and broadening those efforts."
"We view the climate crisis much the same way as damage control efforts on a stricken ship. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment," he added.
Del Toro spoke just days before the Biden administration released its proposed budget for 2024, which calls for shrinking the Navy fleet even though most military experts and senior Navy officers have called for more ships to deter China's larger fleet.
For several years now, the Navy has set a goal of having 355 manned ships. But, for the last three years, the Biden administration has proposed shrinking the fleet below the roughly 298 ships it has available now, instead of increasing it toward a 355-ship goal.

Forget Russia, China and the looming WWIII !
Remove these traitors!
The following details some of their objectives for us.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
On second thought, I guess they succeeded. Never mind.
Where I’m sitting right now was once buried beneath a mile or more of ice.
There were no cars, no electric generators, no factories, not even very many people when that ice melted.
Climate changes.
Man’s attempts to interfere are not only risible, but dangerous.
I guess if shrink the Navy down to a couple of row boats and arm them with spitballs, you will have minimized its environmental impact pretty well
The US military poisons its own Patriots,
as it follows a FAKE script to ignore
the enemy (foreign and domestic).
The Girl Scouts from last century would do better.
Is Del Toro 'of color', a sexual weirdo, give millions to Hunter, or had a powerful father or grandfather in DC? Because this doesn't feel like 'merit'... '
De Toro ( the bull ( shit) )
“fight climate change”
Like with a gun? Or a tank? Or a ship?
Meanwhile, those silly Chinese have built the largest navy in the world, and have developed hypersonic missilries that can hit any target in the U.S. in a matter of minutes. Where are their priorities?
This intentional destruction of America and her Freedoms is the result of Godless policies, driven by a society that has turned its back on God.
Freedom is a threat to those wanting control over your life.
They imagine paradise on earth, if only they reduce the Global population.
They fear the growth of third world populations if they were to demand benefit of their own natural resources, rather than allowing the elites to continue to exploit those resources.
There is no man-made climate change, and the notion that CO2 drives temperature is contrary to the scientific record, as CO2 levels LAG temperature change.
Treasonous bastards and bastardettes.
The PLAN lives in fear of the dreaded work the Marines have been doing on climate change which will inundate all those islands they built in the South China Sea.
Joe’s contract calls for a much smaller fleet to give the PLAN a fighting chance to sink it entirely.
Our surrender is well underway. The public is unconcerned.
Putting the right men in the right places is the most important part of government. Finding places for the malcontents is the hardest. -Tallyrand-
(The current administration has apparently solved the latter problem by placing malcontents in EVERY position.)
Yes yes that’s the plan, but then the question of which climate friendly material will the boats be made out of - see committee report.
Then there is the question of spit and covid - sounds like biological warfare which is illegal.
Paper to make the spit balls comes from trees which are carbon sinks and cannot be used to make paper.
I suggest they digitize the whole concept and get the PLAN to play the computer game, winner take all.
Obama said the discussion is over with global warming so these crazies are following his orders ,LOL
The Oceans are rising and getting larger.
So the Navy will need MORE ships.
Those Dung Beetle Party maggots really need to make their “top priority” what the hell they’re going to do about their out of control Millennials and Zeros in their ranks. It appears that the far-left’s dream of a “free-spirited”, anything goes, co-ed military HAS BLOWN UP IN THEIR FACES. BIGLY. Angry Hispanic groups are trying to shut down Fort Hood because of allegations of sexual harassment of Hispanic female soldiers by other soldiers on post. They have no respect for one another. This is the way the younger generations are. “Hangout” and then jump in bed and “Hookup.” I read the other day that even rapes are up at the military academies. I guess a disciplined military is no longer really needed now that we have the Ukies to fight our wars. Besides, the Pentagon is going to recruit fatties to form the 99¢ Twinkie Brigade to do the desk jobs. That and climate change seem to be their priorities. It’s time to try to salvage our military. We can start by getting rid of Austin and Milley Vanilli.
