Methane is a very strong greenhouse gas. Methane does just as much global warming damage when it is emitted in rural areas as it does when it is emitted in the middle of a city. If you believe global warming is a severe problem than it makes a lot of sense to try and reduce methane emissions. No it does not do just as much damage. Climatic conditions in rural areas can be effective in dissipating the greenhouse effects of methane. Its in the cities where the air gets saturated with the gases that make up smog that things become bad. In that case, climatic conditions usually help the process rather than diffuse it. Methane as is a contributor to global warming but it is a bit player compared to the leading role that smog plays. ted
