Since methane is worse than CO2, it's actually better WRT the greenhouse effect to burn it and produce CO2 + water. Water's also a potent greenhouse effect contributor, but the atmosphere's already saturated with it, so the excess will just rain back down.
Here's an interesting site found through Google:

- Klapaucius 12y agoThe atmosphere water content is self-regulating, since it works as a cycle (water evaporating, condensing and raining down, with the atmospheric content mainly regulated by how much vapor the air can hold). Not so with CO2. There is no similar "excess" threshold for CO2 after which it would "rain down".
