“Global warming is causing these wetlands to produce more methane” Phil Jones to BBC last week “no statistically significant warming since 1995″ Really now, this stupidity has got to stop.

I thought that someone would stir the methane threat again. I have asked numerous experts a) where the supposed 21 times CO2 greenhouse effect in IPCC report 2 (now I believe 24 times in report 4) and quoted on the US EPA web site comes from. No one has come up with an explanation (although I can think of some explanation involving water vapor which is not a greenhouse gas according to the US EPA) and b) for a proof CH4 has any effect on atmospheric temperature.
If one looks at the absorption spectra which is very much narrower than CO2 and the quantity present the effect of methane is for all calculation purposes zero. Another point forgotten is that measurements show CH4 is lower over the ocean than over the land because it is slightly soluble and is taken up by organisms.
