The money you keep referencing, $50 billion over 20 years or an average of $2.5 billion/year, amounts to less than one half of one percent of the budget annually. And not just for climate research but also for clean energy research, subsidies for regulatory compliance, etc.

I would also suggest that regulating offshore drilling or drilling in environmentally sensitive areas or regulating emissions is hardly controlling your life and has a positive economic impact, as does investing in clean energy technology.
