While I don't think this is a good use of the money, you'll go crazy thinking like this.
There are uncountable things I don't value such as fast cars or college football that people drop billions of dollars on. I also bet you spend money on certain things others consider not worthy of the CO2 footprint.
The price system is the best mechanism we have, for all of its faults, to regulate whether something is "worthwhile". The best we can do here is make sure externalities are priced in.
