- gumby 4y agoMethane (CH4) causes 80-100X the radiative forcing than CO2. So even though CO2 levels are >400 ppm and CH4 is "only" 2 ppm (natural levels are about 1/3 of that) the rise of methane levels is estimated to be responsible for a temperature rise of about 0.5 C -- in other words a third of anthropogenic temperature rise.
