18 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 Patrick Healy, deputy editor of New York Times Opinion.
I've covered American politics for decades as a reporter, an editor, and running our New York Times focus groups.
My name is Masha Gessen.
I'm an opinion columnist at the New York Times.
I write about politics.
I specialize in Russia and autocracy and LGBT rights.
Election Day is just over a week away, and one thing I've been watching is this onslaught of anti transgender ads that Republicans are blanketing across swing states.
Since the beginning of August, Republicans have poured more than $65 million into these ads, and they're running a lot in places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, these states that the election's gonna come down to.
There's this huge amount of money being spent on an issue that's not a top issue for voters.
It's not like the economy.
And I think something really important is going on here, and it's really what I want to talk to you about today.
Masha, I do want to show you one of the Republican ads just so we can dig into what we're talking about.
