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 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.

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.
