8 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.
I'm Farah Stockman, and I am a member of the New York Times Editorial board.
There's actually a lot of places in rural America today where Democrats are essentially going extinct.
Democrats do well in the cities, but they get clobbered in the small towns and rural areas.
And winning back at least some of those rural voters is essential to success in statewide elections.
In order to do that, Democrats have to rebrand themselves.
They need a new winning message.
I recently traveled to a place where I think they might have found one, a place called Shelby County, Ohio.
It's about 90 miles west of Columbus.
Registered Republicans outnumber Democrats more than 8 to 1 there.
So a lot of the Democrats in Shelby county are keeping a low profile.
One woman told me when I was there that this is a scary place to be a Democrat.
She actually refuses to put up a political sign in her pasture because she's afraid that someone would shoot her horses.
