Another word rant from Ned. I think this thread should just be locked. Ned claims methane is insignificant, and proceeds to lead everyone down a goose-chase.
For some reason there's a disproportionate emphasis on methane here on ASIF. It was very important in the past but over the next few decades it will be basically trivial in comparison to the warming from CO2.
As I keep telling people, I have no particular background in this (economics/policy/mitigation issues). Not that I think it's unimportant, I just don't want to speculate about something outside my area of comfort.
