Climate change is a mind-bogglingly large-scale problem. We've known that for decades, fossil fuels was energy expenditures that accrued debt for short-term growth... it's not going to be cheap to fix.
Actual wars are a better place to look - the US has been spending an average of $300B/y on war in the Middle East for a cause that kills next to no one. Cut backs on war would more than pay for all our healthcare, space exploration, and climate change needs.

I agree that our wars need to be either cut back or shut down. If you're interested, Rand Paul is actually putting up a fight in the senate for that right now.
