Hurricane Helene brought climate change to Walz-Vance VP debate, but was it enough?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : The Green New Deal was first introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Edward Markey in February 2019.
50% : Debates around energy policy, specifically regarding renewable energy versus oil and gas are inherently connected to climate change, in large part because fossil fuels are the largest contributor to climate change, according to the United Nations, accounting for more than 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and almost 90% of carbon dioxide emissions.
43% : ""One candidate [Vance] implied there's a debate whether or not carbon emissions cause climate change and the other [Walz] boasted, 'We are producing more natural gas and more oil at any time than we ever have,'" Huber said in a statement to ABC News.
41% : "One of the things that I've noticed some of our Democratic friends talking a lot about is a concern about carbon emissions -- this idea that carbon emissions drive all the climate change," Vance said.
