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 is Erin Brockovich.
And what do I do?
Well, I do a whole lot of things, but I'm mostly known because of a film called Aaron Brockovich starring Julia Roberts.
I am a consumer advocate and an environmental activist.
We'll keep it short and sweet.
Cause I could go on and on and on.
Every day for decades, I get emails from people.
And it's not a few emails here and there.
It is relentless.
And it's coming from people with environmental concerns, groundwater contamination, and mostly about disease, illness, and cancers.
What is this chemical?
Why it's in my water?
