This is the same waste of time as saying that pain medication for somebody who broke their leg is a waste of time as it doesn’t heal the leg.

Of course it doesn’t fix the issue, that’s not the point. It might buy us precious needed time to stave off total disaster, which I think is a good thing ™

I’m sure that governments and large companies will (ab)use this by saying “hey! We got ten years extra so let’s return to abusive polluting!”, but that’s a different issue.

Don’t just shit on ideas that help just because they aren’t a fix all solution.
