If you are gonna count windmills and Teslas, you need to count coal plants and new SUVs that dump CO2 into the air.

Windmills and Teslas are more plausibly efforts to fight global warming then coal plants and SUVs are efforts to cause it so it would make more sense to count them, but I wasn't counting them,

Subsidies for Teslas and windmills would count, but I was mostly focusing on research funding, big conferences, and propaganda/education spending from any source as well as regulatory and tax burdens created in the name of or to further the agendas of either cause or the people who push the cause.. Very little is actually spent on pushing the ideas that global warming isn't happening, isn't human caused, isn't a big problem and/or isn't a priority worth the effort and planned effort against it. As for taxation and regulatory burden and big conferences to push global warming, or even the idea that global warming isn't such a big deal, they pretty much don't exist. Research spending isn't very significant on that side either.
