And what would you suggest? Do nothing and hope for the best?

Exactly that. The UK produces less than 2% of world emissions,
probably a lot less. The cost of cutting that in half would destroy
our economy and life as we know it, yet it not would have any

Translation: I'm alright jack. That really goes down well when trying
to persuade others.

Does the 2% include the proxy emissions associated with imports ?

And if you really don't believe CO2 is a greenholuse forcer but is just an
effect of warming I suggest read up on Venus.

On Venus? Can't I read up on it here? Do Ryanair fly there?

When you're painted into a corner doing a clown act doesn't make the paint go
away.
