I don't disagree that it's not a smart way to spend money, but neither is climate change as it also suffers from uncertainty. No one that talks about climate change ever offers solutions, all they do is whinge about mah funding.
You can't just throw give at something and expect the problem to go away, you need a viable plan.
An idea I had is to cover areas of useless Land and buildings in cities with a white or light coloured material, to increase Earth's albedo. Concrete and tarmac absorb heat, and glass only increases this by reflecting the radiation at those surfaces (downwards). It could be overcome by having some sort of white surface reflecting towards the sky.
Perhaps it could slightly overhang the roofs of skyscrapers, also creating shade for people below.
