  • Hi, I'm Josh Haner 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.

  • If you want to support the kind of journalism that we're working on here on the climate and environment desk at the New York Times, please subscribe on our website or our app.

  • This is the Opinions, a show that brings you a mix of voices from New York Times opinion.

  • You've heard the news.

  • Here's what to make of it.

  • I'm Jesse Wegman.

  • I'm a member of the Times editorial board.

  • I write about law and politics and electoral reform, and I wrote a book on the Electoral College called Let the People Pick the President, which I think speaks for itself.

  • The Trump campaign is based on the premise that there is no way Donald Trump can lose except by fraud.

  • They want to cheat, but until then, Republicans must win.

  • We have to win this election, most important election ever.

  • We want a landslide that's too big.

  • To rig, that's obviously not compatible with a representative democracy's survival.

  • But that has been the way he has operated since the beginning of his time running for president.

  • So the entire model of the Trump campaign and the Trump movement is that the game is rigged unless they win.

  • And we're seeing it play out right now in Trump's speeches, in his stump speech, and in the Republican lawyers efforts to throw throw out tens of thousands of eligible voters all over the country, but especially in the swing states where the election will be decided.

  • Over 200 people showed up here to become certified poll watchers.
