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 Paul Krugman.
I'm an opinion writer for the New York Times and an economist on the side.
With Trump going back to the White House, as a citizen, I'm terrified.
Very much so.
This is a guy with authoritarian impulses, and it looks like very few guardrails.
So God knows what America will look like in a couple of years.
As an economist, there's a great irony here, which is that the biggest single factor in Trump's victory was the fact that there was a burst of inflation.
It's in the rearview mirror now, but people are still annoyed at how much things cost.
And yet Trump's economic program, as far as we can tell, is the most inflationary program probably that any American president has ever tried to implement.
So people voted against what they're probably actually going to get.
There are a few big reasons why Trump's plan looks seriously inflationary.
One is he is going to explode the deficit.
