“Methane is still considered an important atmospheric gas by climate scientists today, as it has a greenhouse effect many times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Zerkle and his colleagues consider that their insights into the past atmosphere could be useful in refining our understanding of our planet’s climate today.”

My undestanding is that methane is 25 - 30 % more dangerous to the atmosphere than carbon.
As more of Sibera undergoes climate change and evidence of warming , methane is naturally being released into the atmosphere from the thawing permafrost.
Maybe the UN/WHO would like to tax the Russians into submission ?
