3. This Forbes article from 2019 pegged the cost to end global warming

at $50 trillion. That's worldwide, so every nation would have to contribute. If that's an accurate figure (or even close to it), would $300 billion from the U.S. be a proportionate share? Seems light.

4. I know many people say climate is important but does it truly motivate voters to go to the polls?

It doesn't seem like it is anything close to motivating as abortion and guns for those on the right.

There have been numerous reports of turnout among young voters seriously lagging in next week's VA election. Granted, climate change may not trickle down to state elections yet; but it still suggests it is not that big of a motivator in getting people to the polls compared to abortion and guns for those on the right.
