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.

New York Times opinion.
You've heard the news.
Here's what to make of it.
My name is Charles Blow and I'm an opinion columnist at the New York Times.
So we've moved into an age where people appear to be coming out younger and younger, and in that environment, which is a great thing, we can lose sight of people who, for a variety of reasons, still choose to come out later in life.
I wanted to talk to more people who came out later in life because I came out later in life.
I came out when I was about 40 years old, and it was a strange experience because it felt a little bit like you were a person out of time, that people around you had done what you were doing much earlier.
They experienced the same feelings that you were experiencing as an older person earlier.
And I kept thinking, there must be more people like me.
And so I wanted to talk to those people.
The question I asked everyone was, when did you come out?
And then the follow up is, why did you wait so long to come out?
I grew up in a small town in Arizona.
