Who would bet against the climate instruction they offer being biased towards the UN/IPCC alarmist view? The new target will be net zero, and the new enemy will be climate change.

The Royal Navy is considering introducing compulsory climate change courses for all sailors, The Telegraph can reveal.
A leaked briefing paper suggests that all Navy personnel could be forced to attend online training sessions about the impact of climate change on defence.
“While this course is not yet mandated, it does provide a comprehensive overview on the science behind climate change and most importantly its relevance to defence,” the paper reads.
The document, published last autumn, reveals that the Navy’s climate change and sustainability unit is “exploring opportunities” to pay for sailors to study postgraduate courses on global warming.
Environmental scientists could also be given berths on board Britain’s warships to conduct research, the paper says.
“We are developing relationships with universities to offer enduring opportunities to use Royal Navy platforms for their research, such as this December’s deployment in HMS Protector with scientists from Portsmouth University onboard,” it reads.
Admiral Lord West, the former First Sea Lord, told The Telegraph that he supported the proposals “as long as one does not go stupid”.
“Climate change is not more important than fighting the King’s enemies, so it has to be done with a balance,” he said.
‘Get a grip’
Andrew Montford, director of the Net Zero Watch think tank, said Grant Shapps, the Defence Secretary, “needs to get a grip” on the proposals.
“Net zero zealots will sacrifice anything and everything to their irrational faith,” he said.
“Economic security and energy security have already been tossed aside, so it’s no surprise to see national security taking a back seat as well.”
The currently optional “climate change and security awareness” course is hosted on the Navy’s online learning platform.
The Armed Forces will have to hit net zero by 2050 as part of the Government’s broader commitment to the target.

That would take less than a minute.
We have no defense but we do conform to zero emissions.

This could really help delay any serious attacks by any enemies, they will well know that the closer to 2050 they attack, the easier it will be to defeat us.

If they have been watching the mainstream media, they will already know every thing that will be taught. They should all easily graduate with honors, unless they disagree with any of the material.
Is the ‘tuition’ correct’?
The science is ‘yet’ indecisive!
Kind regards, Ray Dart (AKA suricat).
The climate change awareness is more important than the exercise (not combat) readiness of Queen Elizabeth. The Royal Navy cares for the whole planet. 🙂
I concur CG, but King George the third has a more ‘caring’ overview for our planet.
Any ‘tautology’ needs to be redressed.

With our absurd lack of ships , their unreliability, our recruiting problems, the recent Defence Committee report on our Readiness, the childish ignorant ditto on Decarbonisation, the awful social changes that have wrecked the prestige of the ‘officer’, genderisatipn - I’m so glad I left twenty years ago after forty years in a real Navy.
