look back in history how things have played out, i don't think they thought ross perot would elect bill clinton. now that we see some polls with bobby kennedy jr. would be helping -- would be helping joe biden because it takes votes from donald trump. i've never been a spoiler in anything. i've never tried to. i compete the best i possibly can. i compete to win, okay? and i'm going to work right now to try to win the middle back. they've got to decide, i want things different. i want to make a change. >> how do they do that? >> getting involves, saying, hey, listen, you'd be surprised at how things can happen when there's a movement saying, you're not giving me an option. >> what's causing the election of increasingly more partisan people, less moderates? why isn't the system electing moderates? >> well, the system is closed. it's a closed system. i mean the business model is basically you control all from birth to the finality of it. so if it's starting at the grass root levels back in your home,

could be a home district, could be a home state, whatever, senators are statewide, congress people are district wide. if it's basically designed that we're going to have this ideology no matter what, whether it's you, me, or whoever, but someone who comes from what we would consider more extreme has a better chance of winning than someone that's more moderate or conservative. >> senator romney told me i really think that independent candidates are likely to elect donald trump, and i think him being elected again would be devastating for our country and its character. do you agree with that? >> i agree with the second part, not the first. he and i have talked about this many times. i don't think you can say that, that it's going to help or hinder one over the other. >> so you and mitt romney have talked about whether an independent candidate would help elect donald trump? >> we can't help but talk about it because that's all you hear about. in the press, we've agreed to disagree. >> are you concerned, then, if

next year's presidential election is donald trump versus joe biden? >> very concerned, sure. >> why? >> it would be detrimental for a person who i tried to work with as president -- >> donald trump? >> right, and i couldn't get there with donald trump. but to basically this visceral hatred and degradation of human beings and talking about people that make up america, you know. you can't -- you can't be a person that believes the only fair election is the one you win. you can't be a person who believes that the only laws pertain to everybody but me. there's no privilege like that in america. it wasn't designed that way. >> we're going to have much more of our conversation tomorrow on "cbs mornings."

flooding will happen 5 to 10 times more often than it does right now if no action is taken. the report also details the risk climate change poses to the u.s. energy supply and national security. ben tracy reports. >> this assessment by climate scientists and several federal agencies comes out about every four to five years and this it says the effects of human-caused climate change in the u.s. are, quote, far-reaching and worsening. it provides more evidence that americans are experiencing warmer temperatures and longer-lasting heat waves and that flooding, hurricanes, drought, wildfire, it's all becoming more frequent or severe. now, this also warns that millions of americans in coastal communities are at risk of being displaced from their homes by the end of the century due to rising sea levels. and according to this report, the u.s. is now experiencing a billion dollar weather disaster on average every three weeks compared to one every four months in the 1980s. now, these extreme events cost

the country close to $150 billion a year. climate change, of course, is caused mostly by our burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, and this report says that if we rapidly reduce our planet-warming emissions, that will limit future warming and the risks that come with it. now, the good news, as we promised, is that greenhouse gas emissions in the u.s. have actually dropped 12% since 2005. that is largely driven by this transition away from coal to cleaner forms of renewable energy such as solar and wind power. and those forms of energy are cheaper than they've ever been. >> that was ben tracy in los angeles. rising ocean temperatures are also affecting the seabed. manuel bojorquez has more from the florida keys. >> reporter: scientists with the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, or noaa, took us to a spot known as cheeca rocks. off islamorada. >> cheeca rocks has been one of the reefs that's really held on.

i could use a little help. yeah, there's a lot of risk out there. huh ♪♪ hey, is this thing hard to learn? nah, it's easy. huh. you know, i think i'm going to ride it home. good thing you chose u.s. bank to manage and grow your money. with our 24/7 support at least you're not taking chances with your finances. yeah, i think i'm gonna need a chair.

homeless. >> i feel politically homeless. >> you do? >> mm-hmm. >> reporter: the west virginia senator says he won't vote for donald trump and isn't sold on joe biden either. >> do you think president joe biden deserves a second term? >> i think the people make those choices. i can't make that choice. >> but you're a democrat. >> i'm a democrat. i'm a -- i'm an american first. i'm an american. i'm an independent, i think. i don't know what i am. i can tell you this. i feel comfortable working with bth sides. >> reporter: senator manchin has been involved for years with no labels, a centrist organization that is exploring a third-party unity candidate in 2024. >> senator, address this concern. if you ran on a third-party ticket, wouldn't you be helping to elect donald trump? >> i don't buy that scenario. i've heard that, and i wouldn't buy that scenario because if you look back in history how things

have played out, i don't think they thought ross perot would elect bill clinton. now that we see some polls with bobby kennedy jr. would be helping -- would be helping joe biden because it takes votes from donald trump. i've never been a spoiler in anything. i've never tried to. i compete the best i possibly can. i compete to win, okay? and i'm going to work right now to try to win the middle back. they've got to decide, i want things different. i want to make a change. >> how do they do that? >> getting involved, saying, "hey, listen." you'd be surprised at how things can happen when there's a movement saying, "you're not giving me an option." >> what's causing the election of increasingly more partisan people, less moderates? why isn't the system electing moderates? >> well, the system is closed. it's a closed system. i mean the business model is basically you control it all from birth to the finality of it. so if it's starting at the grassroot levels back in your

home, could be a home district, could be a home state, whatever, senators are statewide, congress people are district wide. if it's basically designed that we're going to have this ideology no matter what, whether it's you, me, or whoever, but someone that comes from what we would consider more extreme has a better chance of winning than someone that's more moderate or conservative. >> senator romney told me, i really think that independent candidates are likely to elect donald trump, and i think him being elected again would be devastating for our country and its character. do you agree with that? >> i agree with the second part, not the first. he and i have talked about this many times. i don't think you can say that, that it's going to help or hinder one over the other. >> so you and mitt romney have talked about whether an independent candidate would help elect donald trump? >> you can't help but talk about it because that's all you hear about. in the press, we've agreed to disagree. >> are you concerned, then, if

next year's presidential election is donald trump versus joe biden? >> very concerned, sure. >> why? >> it would be detrimental for a person who i tried to work with as president -- >> donald trump? >> right, and i couldn't get there with donald trump. but to basically this visceral hatred and degradation of human beings and talking about people that make up america, you know. you can't -- you can't be a person that believes the only fair election is the one you win. you can't be a person who believes that the only laws pertain to everybody but me. there's no privilege like that in america. it wasn't designed that way. >> we're going to have much more of our conversation tomorrow on "cbs mornings."
