> Methane is the second most potent greenhouse gas, but only about 2% of global climate finance goes towards cutting methane emissions.

Anyone else gets very annoyed by these types of phrasing? how many greenhouse gases are there and do we know if the second most potent one has much bigger share of the effect than 2%?

It's estimated that methane may contribute to about 30% of global warming. I agree it's poorly phrased, but it's still a very important point.

The _correct_ point is important, and misleading or incoherent lookalike points sabotage efforts to address it.

Your reading comprehension failed you.
