Canada is ramping up its climate battle by strengthening its regulations for methane, a greenhouse gas that environmental experts say has a more potent warming effect than carbon dioxide, as the country aims to reduce oil and gas methane emissions by at least 75 per cent by 2030.

Methane has 20 times the global warming effect of CO2, and it eventually decays to CO2 in the atmosphere. After a few decades iirc

It's funny how it's methane when they're talking about reducing emissions, but natural gas when they're talking about building pipelines.
