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.

This is him, he, she, her, it. This is the woke admiral who in the past has vociferously defended 'diversity' in the armed forces and now supports sailors attending climate change courses. He is probably known as Cynthia at his club.
