The subsidies probably cost significantly less than we'll end up paying for whatever effects of climate change they would have averted.

Yes, but if everyone was going to get them anyway, you might as well use the same money for something else, like free school lunches.

Will they actually get spent on something sensible, including but not limited to free school lunches? Probably not.

Think of it as a stopped-clock-right-twice-a-day kind of thing.
