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.
My name's Mary Ziegler.
I'm a law professor and legal historian.
I've written six books on struggles over reproduction and abortion in the United States.
And I think we're really at a critical juncture when it comes to the politics of abortion rights today.
This election is the most consequential in the past 50 years, because before this, when a Republican was in office, there were other constraints on what Republicans could do in terms of advancing national restrictions or bans through executive power.
And those constraints are largely gone because Roe v.
Wade is no more.
So quite simply, we haven't had a precedent for how much a Republican can push to limit access in progressive as well as conservative states.
We're living in an unprecedented moment, or at least one we haven't experienced in a half century.
Trump on the campaign trail has sounded reluctant to embrace a broad abortion ban.
Now I happen to be for the exceptions, like Ronald Reagan with the life of the mother, rape, incest.
At various points, he's promised that he'll forge a deal on abortion that both Democrats and Republicans will love without really detailing what's such a deal would involve.
