> It's 7% of emissions caused by fossil fuels

Which is still not the same thing as 7% of global greenhouse emissions. Plenty of non-fossil fuel sources for emissions, like burning trees, cows making methane, etc.

Even if Australia were responsible for 7% of global greenhouse emissions, ceasing wouldn't be enough.

By that logic, no country's emissions matter, even China.

Meanwhile, if you want to convince other countries to reduce their emissions, it's much easier when you're part of the solution.
