Bjorn Lomborg and James Hansen get their say, and the Paris Climate Agreement is put under the microscope.

What does the Constitution have to say about religion? Is Utah&#8217;s Proposition 2 a political issue or a moral one? And should Scientology become the state religion of Rhode Island? Sen. Alan Simpson, C.S. Lewis, and Karl Rove all get mentioned, too, for reasons that are better left unexplained.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-4497-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/dinnertablepolitics\/Religion.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/dinnertablepolitics\/Religion.mp3\">http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/dinnertablepolitics\/Religion.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Download the latest episode <a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/dinnertablepolitics\/The_Return_of_Eliza.mp3\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Download last week&#8217;s religious freedom episode <a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/dinnertablepolitics\/Religion.mp3\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe via iTunes <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/dinner-table-politics\/id1376411996\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"1ptm8\" data-offset-key=\"39e0h-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"39e0h-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"39e0h-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"1ptm8\" data-offset-key=\"ccec9-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"ccec9-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/dinnertablepolitics\/Save_the_Polar_Bears.mp3Thelatest episode of Dinner Table Politics is online!<a href=\"http:\/\/stallioncornell.com\/blog\/dinner-table-politics-save-the-polar-bears\/polar_bear_-_alaska_cropped\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4498\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4498\" src=\"http:\/\/stallioncornell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Polar_Bear_-_Alaska_cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"563\" height=\"565\" \/><\/a>  <span data-offset-key=\"66hmv-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span>  <span data-offset-key=\"2b280-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"2b280-0-0\">Abby and Jim discuss Climate Change and what's to be done about it.
