9 分钟Hi, I'm Josh Hayner, and I'm a staff photographer at the New York Times, covering climate change.
For years, we've sort of imagined this picture of a polar bear floating on a piece of ice.
Those have been the images associated with climate change.
My challenge is to find stories that show you how climate change is affecting our world right now.

Today's Tuesday, August 27.
Here's what we're covering.
Could you tell us what you know about this latest attack in terms of the scale of it and what was hit?
Yeah.
So over the past 24 hours, Russia unleashed what is, by all estimates, one of the largest missile and drone bombardments of the war fired cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, drones from inside Russia, from the Black Sea, from Crimea, at targets across Ukraine.
Times reporter Mark Santora has been covering Russias latest barrage of attacks against Ukraine.
He says the bombardment sent Ukrainians scrambling for shelter in Kyivs subway system and in basements across the country as Russia took specific aim at Ukraines energy infrastructure.
In these russian bombardments of the ukrainian energy grid, they've gone after basically everything that can generate power, thermal power plants.
They've gone after the substations that bring that power across the country.
They've gone after hydroelectric plants.
Obviously, we don't know the Kremlin's thinking behind each and every move.
They do.
But we do know broadly that by going after the energy infrastructure, they're not just making life miserable for millions of Ukrainians, but they're hoping to do serious damage to the economy, for instance, to the industries that make the ukrainian arms industry work to a number of things.
