The ice bucket challenge is back, and so it seems is political polarisation over climate change - I'm hoping we have learnt how to deal with the latter better, but worry we're still acting like it's a bucket of water in our face rather than somethign we can navigate www.ibtimes.co.uk/ice-bucket-c...

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
