CH4 emissions are from agriculture, farm animal husbandry, landfills around the globe, swamps and ponds, microbial activity, ocean depths where methane hydrates are warming up and of course the major part from around and above the arctic circle, with Siberia a major emitter in this regard due to the melting of the permafrost and the huge landmass and huge wetlands. All in all, it is at a certain point a self-feeding development like a hurricane in very slow motion.

The lower temperatures will freeze back what was unfrozen and cool back what was heated, and microbe will slow their activity. Methane is a by-product of the decomposition of organic material that is produced by solar energy and population growth is what increases indirectly methane emission from the processes mentioned above.
