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.
Democrats are going to be going to voters this fall and asking for their votes.
But one challenge is that the parts of the country that are the bluest, the cities on the west coast, are a complete mess.
And I think centrist voters can plausibly ask why put liberals in charge nationally when the places around the country where liberals have the greatest control are plagued.
By homelessness, crime and dysfunction?
I'm Nick Kristof.
I'm a columnist for the New York Times, and I should rush to say.
A liberal, but I do think that.
Liberals like me need to face the awkward fact that something has gone badly wrong where we're in charge.
Up and down the west coast, from San Diego to Seattle, conservatives look at.
The west and they say, hey, the problem is simply the left.
But overall, it seems to me the Democratic states have outperformed Republican ones.
Liberalism has done a better job raising people's well being than conservatism has done.
