From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

The clear and present danger of climate change.

Hello again, I'm on Al-Me, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International.

A daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

Almost 100% of climate scientists now say global warming is caused by human behavior and that action

is now a moral imperative for future generations. But public perception is moving the other way,

female suicide bombers and pictures of so-called jihadist widows are now being posted in Sochi.

We'll hear about efforts to protect the Winter Olympics.
