By comparison, the CO2 emissions released by a residential gas cooker is in the noise. Eliminating them all will accomplish very little in the grand scheme of things (whilst industry in China and India continue to pollute on a massive scale).

That doesn't seem like "noise" or "very little" to me. And we don't fix climate change with one big thing but rather by fixing 1,000 smaller things.

This is part of the solution, and it's not too small to ignore.
