Sorry, not even marginal. It would be nothing. Zip. Nada. And do not mention per-capita, because the atmosphere only sees total amounts. Per-capita argument is a manipulative ploy to guilt people who have only an emotional understanding of climate.
Another reality is that the "we must set the example" argument is nothing but a fantasy. China and India do not care about examples, only their long term self-interest economic and geopolitical strategies (and it is no secret that China is aggressive on those). They may play games with lip service and promises at international meetings, but will only laugh as we lower our standard of living. Another argument for those who only approach climate with an emotional analysis.
