It’s a drop in the bucket compared to the other changes we need.

Of course we can do things in parallel, and I’m not saying this isn’t worth doing, but this is one of the least important things we could do to curb emissions.

Two hundredth is far from a drop in the bucket. It's huge. You would just need fifty things of a similar magnitude to be done with the issue.

A lot of actions which are definitely worth taking (all of them are anyway) have a far smaller impact.

More like 5000 drops of water in the bucket.
