https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority Using fallacies to invalidate arguments should be a fallacy by itself. Maybe my argument is a fallacy logically speaking, but in the real world, not everything is ruled by formal logic. If A is completely negligible compared to B, the « A not as bad as B » fallacy doesn’t apply anymore.
Of course it still does.
To me, your argument sounds pretty much the same as "The us dropped a nuke on Hiroshima. Me throwing a molotov at my neighbor is fine."
Sure that molotov is negligible in front of B. Doesn't make it okay

A more proper equivalent would be me throwing a molotov on hiroshima the day after the nuke impact. Same victim.
The atmosphere is global, there's no Qatar's atmosphere and my neighbor's atmosphere
