‘Climate Change’ Now Top Priority for US Navy

In a stunning, but not altogether surprising statement, America’s top Navy official declared that “fighting climate change” is a “top priority” for the U.S. Navy. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro announced this last week not at the Pentagon or the U.S. Naval Academy, but at a conference in the Bahamas.

It is likely that Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, meeting this week in Moscow to discuss closer military cooperation, shared a high five on hearing the Navy Secretary’s declaration.

Del Toro’s admission that strengthening America’s dwindling fleet of naval ships is no higher a priority than is “embracing climate-focused technologies” was not totally unexpected.

Since taking office two years ago, President Biden repeatedly has stated that “fighting climate change” is and will remain his top national security priority. This was made crystal clear in an October 2021 presidential “Fact Sheet” directed to our nation’s military, foreign policy, and national intelligence leaders.

Rather than resist such a priority directive, the Navy Secretary joined other top Defense officials and saluted their Commander-in-Chief’s warped policy decision; one that will further weaken our country’s defenses. Making matters worse, Biden’s latest defense budget submission to the Congress proposes a 40 percent increase in “climate spending” and a net decrease in the number of operational ships in our Navy’s fleet, continuing a troubling trend highlighted in the Administration’s FY 2023 budget proposal.

OFFS! NOT my Navy. You know, since ships displace water and cause water levels to rise, perhaps joementia should suggest the Navy pull all it's ships out of the water to help lower sea level. Never ceases to amaze me the amount of folks that buy this 🐂💩. Pronouns? "Morons".

Lucky for Gaia, the solar and wind powered ships aren’t that far off. 🤔😂👍

In the vastness of the universe the smallness of biden’s decision is showing

The mission of the military is to kill people, break things and find better ways to do it for the defense of the country. Pretty much everything else damages that mission.

Sounds like ‘their’ plans are coming together nicely.

Unless they are talking about fighting what is being called “climate change” then most of the citizens should feel good about being smarter than the U.S. Navy.

There needs to be such a massive massive purge of the US military. That needs to be heaviest among the senior ranks.

I’m afraid Ring Knockers need to be all but wiped out.

Then we can set about fixing the academies to clean out all the woke chit and fire all the wokesters teaching there.

“‘Climate Change’ Now Top Priority for US Navy”

Take, that PUTIN (and She)!!!

So what if your unstoppable Hypersonics sink our carriers, WE NO LONGER CARE, since our Navy’s carbon footprint would then be REDUCED!!! So it’s really a win for us!!!

[Libloather]

Do you fight climate change with these?

I don't know about solar, but mankind used wind driven ships for thousands of years, culminating in the clipper ship era of the early 19th century. Until about 1700, the secondary source of energy were the galley slaves. Then again, our ruling elite want to return the world to the population levels of 1700 and reduce the remaining population to slavery. In the words of Klaus Schwab, “You will own nothing and be happy>.

Ya got me....

How do you fight climate change period?!

[silent majority rising]

Wow, rktman, don’t give Brandon any ideas. The first thing that Trump should do is have an HONEST conference right after returning to office and get some REAL Scientists to have an honest debate about Global Warming and Climate Change. It can be proven that man’s effect on the overall weather patterns is insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and that we couldn’t change the weather if we trashed all of our machines and started walking. As a Professional Geologist who has studied Paleo Climate Change for over 40 years, I have changed my title to Paleo Climatologist. It makes me sound a little arrogant and self important, so that should make me almost level with my liberal “Scientist” friends. Climate Change is nothing new. In fact, we have had Climate Change for nearly 5 Billion years, and we always will have it no matter what we do.

Get Trump back in the White House and there will be a purge. He probably wouldn’t do it nearly as deeply as I would but there would definitely be a purge.

Jacques Cousteau had one of those, I think. It worked pretty well on certain days. But the only war he ever fought in it was the war on capitalism.

This alone - on top of many others - is sufficient for impeachment of ‘The Big Guy’.

Democrats are very good at fighting imaginary wars.
