NASA finds super-emitters of methane
At which time it turns into CO2 which stays around longer, and water which I believe is a more potent greenhouse gas than either

Something like 90 or 95% of the greenhouse effect is from water vapor. The only reason we really care about atmospheric CO2 is because we think that it triggers more atmospheric water which is the real driver of global temperature change.

warmer atmosphere == higher capacity to hold water vapor.
