Controlling the seas runs through controlling the climate?
The Navy's updated "strategic" guidance
"includes combatting climate change as one of four actions required to
strengthen the Navy’s maritime dominance." Phase 2 remains murky:
Citing climate change as “one of the most destabilizing forces of our time”, Del Toro curiously claims that achieving the Biden Administration’s commitment to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will enable the Navy to become a more agile, capable, and lethal fighting force. Including the questionable connection between emissions reductions and combat capability is enough to undermine his guidance, but there is an even greater deficiency – nowhere in the guidance is there a direct mention of China and our urgent need to outcompete that country in the race for maritime superiority.
WTAF?
Ah, one more substitute for victory from our top defense people who can't seem to focus on real military problems.
I was right to worry about del Toro. One day our ships will be designed so that when they are sunk they won't release dangerous pollutants into the sea and air. Because woke lips sink ships.
