Are you familiar with Bjorn Lomborg's works, of so what do you think about his book False Alarm, and the idea that Climate Change, even though its a very serious problem we should solve, isn't the one we should prioritize?

Climate Change is a serious problem no doubt, but one of Bjorn's arguments is that the money we're "investing" in solving Climate Change isn't yielding good results,compared to other problems we should turn our attention to. For example, every 1$ you give to feed malnourished children yields a 23$ "gain", as malnourishment inhibits brain development harshly, so feeding them would give the world more resources to deal with issues etc. The return for the investment in solving Climate Change is around 0.63$ for a dollar.
