Methane is for all intents and purposes irrelevant as a greenhouse gas in earth’s atmosphere, because of very low concentrations and overlap of its spectral bands with H2O. So journalists make up completely fake statistics about methane.
“Indeed, methane is responsible for around a third of the 1.1C increase in global temperatures since pre-industrial times, a rise that is fueling the more extreme weather patterns currently experienced around the world … Its impact on temperature rises is 80 times that of CO2”
