As I watched this for the first time, I was trying to decide whether Van Jones was attempting to use a metaphor and failing badly or speaking in literal terms. This guy appears to be either losing his mind or flailing while failing to find a coherent message. I am continually fascinated by how these radicals can argue in support of climate change with a straight face in light of all that's happened. As if they weren't losing that debate badly enough already despite having the establishment media in their corner.
If this is the latest argument from the left wing whack job establishment over at the Center for American Progress (CAP) for why America needs to move to a green economy, they're in serious trouble. While speaking at CAP, Van Jones actually refers to oil as being the "ancient blood of our ancestors" and coal as their "broken bones". He uses those absurd premises to make the claim that our energy system is "based on death". As if that wasn't enough to garner sympathy for his cause, he bemoans the notion that we burn these energy sources "without ceremony" for those dead ancestors.
Using Jones' logic, he should be completely emaciated from not eating by now. His body represents an energy system that's based on death too.
This just might get the "most asinine argument of the millennium" award.
