In this episode we examine President Trump's inconsistent response to mass shootings/killings in the United States when the killer is a Muslim or person of color, versus when he's a white male. In the second half we comment on some of the effects of Climate Change against the backdrop of the United States being the only nation which is not a signatory to the Paris Climate Agreement. Feel free to let us know what you think, and remember whether we agree or disagree we don't have to be disagreeable.
