Hi I'm Kai Rizdahl the host of How We Survive

It's a podcast from Marketplace. In 1986, before I was a journalist, I was flying for the Navy.

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 changes 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.

I think we will put our troops and our forces at higher risk if we don't recognize the impact of climate change.

This season, we go to the front lines of the climate crisis

to see how the military is preparing for the threat.

Listen to how we survive, wherever you get your podcasts. In Bangladesh, the country's longtime leader, ousted from power, is now facing

charges of crimes against humanity after a violent crackdown over the summer that

killed hundreds of demonstrators. People really, really want accountability and justice for this terrible

catastrophe that happened in Bangladesh.

I'm Carol Hills.

We will also hear about the Olympic Snowboarder

from Canada who's wanted by the FBI and an effort

off the coast of England to help reverse the impact of overfishing.

Maternity tank, yeah.
