CNN warmist Amanpour interviews Van Jones on climate politics: Jones suggests that the Obama administration didn't have "hardened political operatives" and claims that a small set of businesses spent "hundreds of millions of dollars to absolutely lie about the science"

Political solutions for climate change – Amanpour - CNN.com Blogs

Once you settle the science debate on climate change, then comes the hard part: finding the political will to actually do something about it. Van Jones was in a position to do something as Green Jobs Advisor to President Obama – the White House's point man on the environment. But he resigned in the face of a right wing smear campaign. Now he is trying to mobilize change as a grass roots activist.

Jones on climate skeptics: "These guys come into the boxing match, they bring a chain saw, a baseball bat, and six cobras, and we're like this is not the normal fight".  Amanpour asks if there is a sort of a civil war in this country over this, and Jones says "there really is".

Jones says his side was upended by "literally hundreds of millions of dollars spent saying things that just were not true about the science, about the scientists and about the people who were trying to make a difference."

Jones suggests that his side lost because they didn't have "hardened political operatives". He calls the Koch brothers "the main funders of climate denial" and claims that Muller's study proves his side's point; this study is allegedly "the beginning of a tipping point". 

A truly puzzled Amanpour actually asks Jones "what's not to like"  about a carbon tax or cap and trade?

Jones talks about "cooking the planet" and "planet-baking pollution".

Amanpour describes Al Gore as "the hero of the environmental movement; had every credential under the sun" then says "Where is he?  He's AWOL!"
Jones says we should salute Gore for "his Paul Revere ride through global consciousness".  Jones then claims that a small set of businesses spent "hundreds of millions of dollars to absolutely lie about the science".
