Somehow, I wasn't aware that methane levels have dropped off for the past eight years. Thanks for the info!
It seems they are increasing again:
Methane levels increasing worldwide: study (ABC News in Science)
From my understanding, the big methane threat is in the frozen tundra of Siberia. As it warms, the methane there will be released in vast amounts, causing further warming and more melting etc. etc.
It's the runaway positive feedback loops that are really going to bite us if things spiral out of control.
