I don't want to arbitrarily set a number that the government should spend, because it will just get pissed away on worthless BS. I would like to see the government approving money for research into the causes of warming and cooling trends, including but not limited to the current trend. I would also like to see the government approving money for general climatology research.
Mostly this stuff is happening already. However, there is a huge, huge problem with the way research is being funded. As we hear again and again from members of the scientific community, if you have a theory that goes against the Gospel of ALGORE, you not only don't stand a chance in hell of getting funding, you had better get your resume ready because you are likely to get booted from your job. If we really want to make progress, we need to fund serious research without pre-judging it. As for the $50 B, if that kind of money actually gets approved, sign me up for $500 million a year to study ocean currents and wave formation as it is affected by global warming.
