Climate change got one question in last night's debate. It didn't get much of an answer
Briefly

Over more than an hour and a half of back-and-forth, climate change got just a couple minutes of airtime during a CNN-hosted debate between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump on Thursday.

Most of the discourse focused on hot-button issues like immigration and the economy. Biden spoke with a raspy voice and at times tripped over his words, while Trump took many wild discursions and uttered several falsehoods that moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper did little to rein in.

Trump gave an incoherent nonanswer when asked about addressing the climate crisis. He made unsupported claims about having the best environmental numbers and took credit for pulling out of the Paris Agreement, diverting the discussion to unrelated topics like police support.

Biden mentioned policies promoting clean energy but did not give a direct answer about addressing the climate crisis. The debate largely ignored this critical issue, reflecting a broader trend of downplaying climate change in political discussions.
