Methane has a short half-life, and is a small fraction of atmospheric particles compared to the other gases, and when methane decomposes it turns into carbon dioxide and water which is a less potent green house gas.
Even if you release all the methane stored in permafrost, that effect will be short lived on a geologic timescale.
