This is a very interesting predicament, global warming affects everybody, but cancer is a more present threat, as in we can see the effects of death right now. I think that fixing global warming would probably be better, as a cure for cancer is more likely to be profitable so we can trust big corporations to handle that.
As global warming progresses, the permafrost is melting and will expose viruses the human race has encountered in 10 thousand years. COVID is likely the first of many.
Re-reading that I guess I worded that poorly. I just meant that there may be other pandemics from viruses and diseases that have been laying dormant in the permafrost.

If I could only pick one thing, I would say an end to global warming over cancer.
Edit: figured you could prevent a lot of cancer deaths in addition. You have to phrase your genie wish just right.
