Vance on carbon emissions and climate change: 'Let's just say that's true'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : There is a scientific consensus that climate change is occurring and is primarily being driven by human activity -- largely carbon emissions stemming from the burning of fossil fuels.
44% : We can be smarter about that," Walz said. Walz appeared to be referring to reports that Trump asked the oil industry for $1 billion in campaign cash during a fundraiser earlier this year.
42% : "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 drives all the climate change," Vance said.
33% : The Washington Post reported that Trump said the donations would be a "deal" for oil executives because of the tax cuts and relaxed regulations he would implement, but someone with knowledge of the meeting who spoke with The Hill said the discussion was not framed as any sort of quid pro quo. Walz also described his running mate Vice President Kamala Harris as having an "all-of-the-above" energy policy and touted oil and gas production in the U.S.
