It's irrelevant anyway, if the science is to be believed. I found the below FR thread and a link to a scientific explanation of why it doesn't matter:

Methane: The Irrelevant Greenhouse Gas

I found the below FR thread and a link to a scientific explanation of why it doesn't matter: Wow. Thanks, Dave.

This graph tells the story, if you know how to read it:

It completely blows apart the hysteria over methane.

Oh, and this article provided something really useful:

However, CH4 is only 0.00017% (1.7 parts per million) of the atmosphere.

Let's go back and look at this graph I posted earlier:

This graph shows variation from the background concentration of methane, in parts per BILLION. The largest variation is 40 parts per Billion, or .040 parts per million.

If the background concentration is 1.7 parts per Million, then an increase of .040 PPM is only only 2.35%.

I did that very quickly -- someone check my math. But if I didn't screw something up, this is truly hyperbole over something of no significant consequence.
