No, I don't think that's how they'd view an unwillingness to set aside a miniscule fraction of our resources to prevent absolute destruction.
Well, it depends on the details. We face other more pressing risks than asteroid strikes - and we do already allocate some resources to preventing such strikes - that's part of how we know what the risks are.
Obliteration doesn't prove negligence - it's a risky universe out there.
