So, if Australia is insignificant, then Texas must also be insignificant. That makes about 50m insignificant people. Therefore, the state of California must also be insignificant. If the two biggest states in the USA are insignificant, the the smaller states must also be insignificant. Therefore, the USA as a whole must be insignificant.
If the US is insignificant, then China, Europe and India must also be insignificant.
Ultimately, every person is only 1/7,300,000,000 of the problem. Therefore every person is insignificant and should therefore be exempt from doing anything, on any issue, ever.

Some people just don't like to contribute much or play with others and will hunt for any reason not to do so. It is unfortunately often the richest people in the richest nations.
