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.

And while the threat seems new,
