Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro on Friday defended his call that climate change is a top priority for the Navy, at a time when the Navy is supporting a shrinking fleet.
Carlos Del Toro on Friday defended his recent remark that climate change is a"top priority" for the Navy and said he thinks the issue is just as important for the Navy as ensuring a steady stream of sailor recruits.
Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., pressed Del Toro to say where climate change ranked compared to other priorities, like recruiting and fleet strength. "The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps team has been working on climate and energy security for a long time," he said then."And we are accelerating and broadening those efforts."
