Look up the Copenhagen Consensus, which is a project that tried to rank interventions: what would you do if you had $75bn to spend on a good cause?
The founder is a controversial figure with niche views on climate science, but the judging panel was solid (lots of Nobel Prizes etc). Global warming barely made the list. It's the biggest priority for us in the west, but billions of poorer people are more interested in tropical diseases, HIV, education, etc.
