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 Patrick Healy, deputy editor of Opinion, and I've covered American politics for decades as a reporter, editor, and running our New York Times focus groups.
For the past six months, I've been talking about what matters most in this presidential race.
And now we've made it to Election Week.
So I spent two years covering the 2016 presidential campaign and another two years overseeing Times coverage of the 2020 presidential race.
And during all that work, I heard a handful of insights about voters that that really stayed with me.
And I want to start our final election preview with one of those insights.
After Donald Trump won in 2016, his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, who has been a pollster for decades, made a comment about voter behavior that I think applies to the Trump Kamala Harris election, too.
This is what Conway said.
One thing that was missed all along in this election is something we noticed early on, which is that there's a difference to voters between what offends you and what affects you.
And Conway kept going with this, she said, and they were being told constantly stare at this, care about this, make this the deal breaker once and for all.
And they were told that five or six times a week about different things.
And yet they voted the way voters have always voted, she said, on things that affect them, not just on things that offend them.
