Here is a paper— from a non-denier— that argues that although obviously methane is quite bad, this new source is not large-scale enough to have massive effects:

In other words, since methane only lasts in the air for about eight years or so, the rate of outgassing will have to be such that its occurring faster than that eight-year span.

The paper makes it very clear that CO2 on its own has plenty of power to fuck us, still.

This paper also makes it clear that climate scientists are not alarmists.

Interesting. It is a matter requiring intense study. Study many Republicans would try to block (foolishly).
