costs in the region could be in the billions. the residents are going to see sticker shock. now, can they afford it? they don t have a choice. i mean either you pay for it or you leave. while local officials are heeding the warnings from scientists, many of their counterparts on the state and national levels are ignoring it. dr. harold wanless was one of the scientists who met with governor rick scott last summer to discuss the threat to south florida. you met with the governor and why do you think he gave us 30 minutes and used 10 of it for introductions. so we had 20 minutes, five of us to explain that global warming is real, that it s human induced and what to do about it. what was the response? thank you very much for coming. just doesn t believe it?
chickasha we lost our live shot, i apologize for that. but tornado watch is in effect. we start with major news on the transpacific partnership. the trade deal is causing a lot of headaches for the hillary clinton campaign. clinton has declined to give a simple yes or no answer on fast track or the tpp. the clinton campaign chairman was reechbltly asked how clinton would deal with the tpp and he joking responded can you make it go away? unfortunately for them the tpp isn t going away any time soon. it s becoming a bigger issue every day and average working americans are seeing what it s going to do to their future. even donald trump has taken a stand against the trade deal. he released this radio ad earlier today. i learned a long time ago, a bad deal is far worse than no deal at all. and the obama trans-pacific partnership and fast track are a bad, bad deal. for american businesses for workers, for taxpayers, it s a huge set of handouts for a few insiders that don t ev
level rise in the last 15 years. but what happens when the habitat begins to shrink for florida s two-legged creatures? we re really living in a place that is basically doomed by the end of this century. dr. harold wanless runs the geology department at the university of miami, is a world renowned expert on sea level rise. present u.s. government projections are for 4.1 to 6 feet by the end of the century. the geologists if we had to give a number, it would probably be at 15 to 20 feet by the end of this century. three times the government estimation. yeah. and that s just because we feel that we can see by looking at the past how rapidly a destabilized ice section can disintegrate. when you tell folks at miami dade, i know you re an adviser, when you tell the local politicians, the state politicians we re doomed, what do they say? what s the typical answer?
this is necessary. he is putting together a new politics around climate change. he is doing it without congress. the house passed great climate change cap and trade legislation in the first term and couldn t get it through the senate. so people were moving on this. now there is absolute obstruction. he is doing the right thing. well, a lot of wealthy people live near the shore, as we know in florida especially. let s take a look at how climate change can be important today, not years from now. look at miami. rolling stone magazine reported this week that the unavoidable truth is that sea levels are rising, and miami is on its way to becoming an american atlantis. it may be another century before the city is completely underwater, although some more pessimistic scientists predict it could be much sooner. life in the vibrant metropolis, life in miami is doomed says harold wanless. that s down there at miami they re saying. it s not a question of if, it s a question of when. when you ta
0 time. you know, i just want to get this in perspective. i couldn t have a better person here than julian bond. if you think about the way america has changed in, 1964, the all white delegation to the united states senate, texas, south carolina, georgia, lds, mississippi, virginia, they re all white guys. they all voted against the civil rights bill knowing that was good politics to deny the chance of a black person to walk into a restaurant, go to a men s room or ladies room in a gas station to vote against all those rights was in their political interests because to blacks were allowed to vote. this is what the voting rights act particularly changed in 65. talk about the history of how everything was changed because when the blacks were guaranteed the federal government was on their side in making sure they had a right to vote, everything changed. we owe all this to lyndon johnson who may have been condemned for the vietnam war, but in civil rights, he was number one. he had th
