Robert Howarth, an environmental biology professor at Cornell University, used research from the United Nations to calculate that if methane's potency were considered over 20 years rather than 100 years, it would be 72 times as powerful as carbon dioxide in terms of its warming potential.

But methane's climate effects are far more certain than are black carbon's, and so while we should do both, we must focus more on methane at first, aiming black carbon cuts mostly towards sources that save lives cookstoves, while scrutinizing their effectiveness and increasing them greatly if very helpful for the climate.

We chose to focus on landfill and agricultural methane reduction projects because methane's impact on warming is very well understood, it's easy to measure how much methane is captured and the capture wouldn't happen without our financing for the projects we're investing in, they couldn't make enough money selling the gas.

That was actually an interesting lawsuit, 'cause the companies who had leased the coal were saying "that's our methane" because the BTUs come from coal, and the companies who had leases on the natural gas rights for the exact same piece of ground were claiming methane's a gas, "so it's our methane".
