> Methane is a strong GHG with a global warming potential 84 times greater than CO2 in a 20-year time frame. Methane is not as persistent a gas and tails off to about 28 times greater than CO2 for a 100-year time frame.
That was already discussed in the article I linked. A 100-year timeframe is not relevant for either the 2005-present timeframe or the 2050 goal, which are the benchmarks being discussed.
