According to the UN and the US EPA, methane has 1/3 thermal impact as CO2.

Over a lifetime, does a cow emit more methane through flatulence or more CO2 through respiration?

At a 3:1 impact ratio...does it even matter?

Water vapor accounts for 95% of all greenhouse gases. And as you have pointed out, the effects of each gas vary. IIRC, the EFFECT of water vapor on the greenhouse effect is 98% or something.
