N2O is produced by people and we have choice to turn that production off or at least limit it. We can't control production of methane anymore.

We can greatly reduce production of methane, even if not eliminate it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_emissions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_emissions

  Have you understood what I wrote? Methane is being emitted in a natural process from thawing permafrost. There are vast quantities of organic matter that has been frozen for thousands of years and is now starting getting eaten by bacteria that produce methane. All human-made emissions pale in comparison to natural process. There is no way to turn it off unless you can build a giant AC unit over entire arctic or maybe you can dig entire siberian soil and send it to Mars.

Not realistic but you could dig part of the soil and put it somewhere sealed, and periodically compress the methane and store it into something.

      Do you realise how big Siberia is?

        Partially, which is why I said "not realistic" at the beginning of my post. I think that my solution is a bit better of a solution than a giant AC over Siberia or sending that soil into space, but all three are not realistic.

        Do you realize neither his or mine were presented as serious ideas. It is called sarcasm.

    1. That’s not what you wrote in the comment I first replied to 2. My link also contradicts your new claim that artificial CH4 pales in comparison to natural process from thawing permafrost (if ‘natural’ is even what we wish to call it when it’s only melting because of anthropogenic climate change)
