Hi I'm Kai Rizdahl the host of How We Survive It's a Podcast from Marketplace.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

It was the cold war, and my first deployments were intercepting Russian bombers.

Today, though, there's another threat out there, climate change. This could be the warmest year on record.

Climate change is here.

Temperatures here are warming faster than anywhere on Earth.

And while the threat seems new,

the Pentagon's been funding studies on climate change since the 1950s.
