    In a reality where resources are finite, using available resources to fight malnutrition was expected to produce more benefit.

I doubt any legislator anywhere is making a vitamin A vs. global warming mitigation decision. Outlining problems is a worthwhile effort, but saying "we have $75B to spend, how to spend it?" frames the circumstances in way that doesn't reflect reality. There are countless ways to address global warming which include, but aren't limited to, spending money.
