Since when?
The largest methane contributor on the planet is termites.
Neary everything you see as vegetation this summer is squirreled
away and eaten and turned into methane as well as nutrients for next
summer's plants.
Demonising life giving CO2 fo 0.04% hasn't worked, so now
the climate trolls are turning to demonising methane without
really understanding that the entire ecosystem is kept alive by
termites and their contribution to the ecosystem.
Not so long ago, glow ball warmies wanted to kill termites.
Who knows, if they demonise methane by ranting spewing hard for decades
they might be able to knock a turmite mound down before the public
turn on them and their fake science.
