we don't know when or how soon but eventually you melt land base ice like greenland and west and work to come. if you like it or not what happens if you start losing parts of florida? and again, this is physics, so why would anybody denies this and particularly why would republicans? if you are a little and your answer to the question is along the lines of its because they are stupid, then you are wrong. that is a liberal delusion and one that should be gotten past so we could understand the opposition. exactly the opposite. the evidence says smarter or better educated republicans deny the science more than the less educated ones. this is what i like to call this march immediate effect and i want to tell you how i stumbled upon it because it is what set the book in motion. the moment came when i was a typical revelation based on data so i was going through a report on why we are so politically divided on global warming in 2008 and even more divided now and then we were then but what you found is a little figure about the relationship between political party affiliation, level of educa

if you're in greenland.ar tim tebow pays him an unexpected visit. >> i couldn't believe it. i said, wow. and-- tim tebow, came in there like you're my hero and really, we play a silly game, but they're having their life for our country. that's a real hero. >> and the u.s. army chief was the shot in the neck and paralyzed and help to raise money for a charity the bar tollo foundation and that foundation helped to arrange the surprise visit. >> and swirling around him everything he did for the broncos organization and still the talk about peyton manning, he's a good man. >> clayton: let's turning our attention to rick reichmuth in south carolina, he's also a good man. >> we're ten or 11 miles from charleston, south carolina, if you've ever been, an amazing place. and the beach is beautiful place. the lighthouse is morris island lighthouse built in 1872 and finished in 1876 after the original lighthouse had been destroyed. and the mayor of folly beach, south carolina, here, that lighthouse used to be part of an
