CNN's Van Jones: 'Delusional' to Not Act on Climate Change Due To 'A Billion Climate Refugees'

Left-wing activist turned CNN host Van Jones ran to John Kerry's defense on the 19 February 2014 edition of Crossfire, after co-host Newt Gingrich attacked Kerry  as "delusional" for hyping climate change as a "weapon of mass destruction" in a recent speech. Jones retorted, "It's not delusional to focus on climate disruption. It's delusional not to."

Moments earlier, the former Obama green jobs czar himself made a doom-and-gloom prediction about the hypothetical effects of what he called "climate disruption:"

VAN JONES: Now, here's a good question: should serious people focus on global political instability – terrorism, failing states, nuclear weapons – or should we focus on global climate instability –  droughts, floods, extreme weather?

Here's the correct answer: yes, both, because climate disruption will make every other national security problem worse – big floods, crazy weather – that can destabilize governments, especially weak governments. That makes it easier for extremists to grab power, or to grab nuclear weapons. No food – people riot; when the oceans rise, people flee. You can imagine a world – with some of these scenarios – with a billion climate refugees. That's a dangerous place.
