Turk replied that it was a global problem and everyone needed to do their part to make a difference. Kennedy pressed him for a specific answer, but Turk never gave a straight response.

Kennedy continued to challenge Turk, stating that he was advocating for spending trillions of taxpayer dollars without knowing how much it would lower world temperatures. Turk explained that he did not believe the rest of the world would take steps to cut emissions unless the United States took the lead.
