  • Hi, I'm Josh Hainer 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,

  • From New York Times, I'm Michael Bilbaro.

  • This is The Daily.

  • On Tuesday,

  • prosecutors investigating the death of Rob and Michelle Reiner said they planned to charge the couple's son,

  • Nick, with first-degree murder.

  • Today, Julia Jacobs, on what we're learning about the death of a Hollywood legend,

  • and Wesley Morris, on why so many of Reiner's films are among the most beloved movies ever made.

  • It's Wednesday, December 17th.

  • Julia, I appreciate you coming in today.

  • Thanks for having me.

  • I just want to say at the outset, perhaps this is obvious,

  • but the death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle is a very gruesome and tragic situation,

  • and we do not want to linger on it for a long time in this conversation.

  • In fact, I hope we don't have to linger on it much at all,
