  • 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 Patrick Healy, deputy editor of New York Times Opinion.

  • The Democratic Convention was the 10th presidential convention I've covered as a journalist.

  • And.

  • And this one was like no other.

  • If the Republican convention last month was all about framing Trump as godlike, having avoided an assassin's bullet, the Democrats were all about framing Kamala Harris as Joy.

  • Kamala is a joyful warrior.

  • Now, ever since Joe Biden stepped aside, the Democrats have basically been branding themselves as the party of joy.

  • Her passion will benefit all of us when she's our president.

  • And there was this big moment last week when Bill Clinton used the convention to call Harris the president of Joy.

  • The president of Joy to lead us.

  • I gotta say, I cringed a little when I heard that.

  • I covered Barack Obama in 2008, and he earned the label of hope and change over nearly two years of hard work and trust building with voters on the campaign trail.
