> Methane degrades to C02 in 1-1 proportion
Source? I understood that the long-term radiative forcing of methane was lower than CO2, which is incompatible with this claim.

Although atmospheric losses to space and capture into oceans and subsequent precipitation into hydrates cannot be excluded as potential atmospheric methane sinks, I expect those to be only marginal at the grand scheme of things.
