7 分钟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.

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.
My name is Deborah Haney and I am an occupational and environmental medicine physician.
I work in Ann Arbor at the Ann Arbor va.
So I traveled to Latin America and was in Curacao and one day I noticed some itching in my ankles and in my elbows, but it was tiny little bumps.
It wasn't really very concerning.
We talked to the host of the Airbnb and she said there are no mosquitoes this time of year.
It's not mosquitoes.
And I assumed it was some sort of called a no see.
The next day I started to have muscle aches.
We were on our way to snorkeling and I was sitting in the car and just rubbing my legs because they hurt so badly.
And then I started getting hot.
I'm kind of glad I didn't have a thermometer because I probably would have been frightened.
I was taking Tylenol regularly and I had to get up because we were flying out that morning.
