Yes, but is the amount of methane released anywhere near the same as CO2? Hint: methane is measured in parts per billion, whereas co2 is measured in parts per million.

(Carbon dioxide 82%, methane 10%)
Globally, as of 2012, methane contributes about 23% as much as CO2 to anthropogenic warming:

(Carbon dioxide 35.47 billion tons CO2e, methane 8.01 billion tons CO2e).
So methane is certainly a smaller contributor toward warming than CO2 but it's more significant than you have conveyed.
