Climate Change Is More Important Than Other Threats

The US federal budget included about $23 billion of climate change spending in the 2021 fiscal year. The UK spent about £4 billion in the 2021-2022 financial year. Philanthropic spending on climate change is $5-10 billion per year. Many businesses and universities around the world work on general climate change research or technologies designed to reduce emissions. People interested in safeguarding humanity's future focus on bigger and more direct existential threats if they can.
