Only if there's enough money to do both. People smarter than you
(and who isn't, you being a Chris and all) are skeptical that's
the case.

There is enough money for both, especially when you factor in
the trillions of dollars of cost incurred by global warming.

People who aren't named Chris (and are thus, much smarter) disagree.
I expect that most people will take the word of professionals over
that of some dumbass on the internet named Chris.

In the U.S., the increasingly ill-informed electorate is likely to
ignore experts in favor of demagogues. In the developed world,
however, that's less likely. Which is why we see the developed world
more seriously working on the problem.
