<blockquote><p>Methane released in the atmosphere contributes much more to climate change than CO2.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/opinion/sunday/friedman-no-to-keystone-yes-to-crazy.html?_r=0">No to Keystone. Yes to Crazy. &#8211; NYTimes.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Methane makes up less than 0.000002 mole fraction of the atmosphere. If everyone in Camp Nou last night were a molecule of the atmosphere, odds are that none of them would be methane.</p>
<p>All of the minimal absorption bands of methane are completely overlapped by water vapor. Methane has almost no effect on the Earth&#8217;s radiative energy balance.  Friedman is an idiot. He has no idea what he is talking about.</p>
