Its seriously bad, and we still argue about electric cars and profitability of solar power:
Methane is powerful enough to create rapid warming feedback loop that cannot be stopped by current means(unless the world economies are changed overnight), there is a model that shows +6C warming effects if methane reaches 1000ppm(2000 Gt release):

Notice the predictions of methane release from 2013 are on track:
