Over a 25-year period, though, methane is 85 times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide.

Doesn't it get reduced in the athmosphere in about 5 years to mostly CO2?

The atmospheric half life of methaine is just under 10 years. So if you release 1k lbs of methaine in 10 years there will be 500 lbs left 10 years after that ther will be 250 ect.
