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.
I'm Naomi Beinart and I'm a junior in high school.
On the morning after the election, I walked up the staircase of my school.
A preteen was crying into the shoulders of her braces clad peer.
Her friend was rubbing circles on her back.
I continued up the stairs to the lounge where upperclassmen linger before classes.
There I saw two tables.
One was filled with my girlfriends, many of them with hollows of darkness under their eyes.
There was a thick blanket of despair over the young women in the room.
I looked over to the other table of teenage boys and saw Minecraft on their computers.
While we were gasping for a breath, it seemed that they were breathing freely.
We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse than a woman, where the kind of man my mother instructs me to cross the street to avoid will be addressed as Mr.
President, where the body I haven't fully grown into may no longer be under my control.
