8 分钟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.

Today's Wednesday, April 8th.
Here's what we're covering.
At 8.06 a.m. Yesterday morning, President Trump issued an apocalyptic threat to Iran,
saying he was prepared to order widespread attacks against civilian infrastructure
and that a whole civilization will die.
Just over 10 hours later, he backed down from that threat, announcing on social media that the U.S.
And Iran have reached a two-week ceasefire deal.
The idea is that negotiators will spend that time trying to finalize a permanent peace agreement.
The breakthrough came after a frantic diplomatic effort by Pakistan,
which had been urging Trump not to carry out the devastating attacks,
and pushing Iran to accept the proposal which Pakistan had drafted.
Under the terms of the deal, Iran will let ships carrying oil, gas, and other goods through the Strait of Hormuz.
