>> reporter: back in the summer of 1988, ronald reagan decided the time had come to tackle climate change once and for all. the problem, as he saw it, wasnt the fact that the globe was warming. it was having to listen to all the scientists insisting that the globe was warming. so his administration got behind the creation of the ipcc, the international panel on climate change, which came into existence at the end of that year. the idea behind the ipcc was simple. the very best scientists from ar...

Earlier, congressman clyburn, said he cant jump to conclusions. for all i know, it could be made out. it sounded like later on he was trying to backpedal a little bit. from congresswoman kathleen rice, she says "representative john conyers should resign. i have reviewed the allegations against him. they are as credible as they are repulsive." his lawyer says that people were required to sign over allegations, 11 people would be out of work in this country, including members of the house, senate,...

To the official process. this concerns me greatly. i think the congressman needs to look at himself and if i was in his place, i would leave. >> at least one lawmaker defended him. quoted saying "you cant jump to conclusions with these types of things. for all i know, this could be made up." later tweeting the allegations are disturbing in the ethics committee should conduct a thorough investigation. conyers digs in his heels, a republican congressman is apologizing afternoon photo of him surfac...

Said that moore has denied these allegations. when you take the presidents comments, especially in combination with what kelly anne conway said the day before, i think message from the president is pretty clear. its, i need roy moore in the united states senate. >> dana: so, jessica, i am assuming you probably would take issue with that, but i do want to point out representative clyburn when he was talking about john conyers, he said you cant jump to conclusions with these types of things. for a...

And i think we should wait a little while before you make that conclusion. >> congressman quigley pointed to the fact that mr. conyers used his own resources, raised access to funds within his office to make the settlement payments instead of going through an official process. he said that specifically concerns him greatly. do you share that concern? >> i am concerned about that. it is apparently legal to do, which doesnt make it right. but its one of the things the ethics committee has to look ...

Lets take a look at that. >> you do think he should step down as the ranking member of the judiciary committee, even before this investigation? >> yeah, i think that given that there is one and now another incident of women coming in to say it would not be appropriate on the judiciary committee to sit there. he should step down as the ranking member with the opportunity. if he defends himself and says theres nothing there, then he can come back. but you cant in my estimation, in a scenario were ...

House democrats. what is the conversation? what will it be like when everybody returns from the holiday? >> well, the thing that i notice, congressman conyers has been in congress for over 50 years and i just think its human nature to defend himself on this. give him the opportunity to do this. when people are effectively bullet proof and entrenched in power they are much more likely to do things that are not on the up and up and i think its a walking advertisement for term limits for members of...

Incidents that are on record. >> jon: should he resign? >> i think the investigation should happen and we come to our conclusions. across the board whether it be conyers, even the president of the united states or potential senator mr. moore, i think all of these need to come out weekend we need to see what happened and be able to read affidavits and have a frank conversation. one day im going to have a daughter hopefully and i dont want her to worry about how she will be treated in the workplac...

These accusers deserve to be heard. the process theyve used thus far has been completely inappropriate for having those things aired. and whether its a democrat or republican, it doesnt matter the gender. sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, locker room talk, all of it is bad. its not all the same, but we have to treat it seriously. >> casey hunt, we have jim clyburn, the highest ranking african-american and the democratic hierarchy there on the house side telling the "new york times" that h...

Of alabama decide it. they are the jury and it is somewhat appropriate. it doesnt make me any more or less a supporter. i dont care for roy moore because i believe the women in this case. i thought the story was well reported. another problem the democrats have with john conyers. he said today about conyers, that the charges the claims may not have any real substance. you cant jump to conclusions with these types of things he said. for all i know all this could be made up and thats what a democr...
