Sure but the generation of new hydrocarbons from sequestered resources means net available carbon increases. You're totally right that converting existing atmospheric CO2 to methane would have a larger impact. I'm not saying agriculture is off the hook here, nor that we should consider the horse as a solution to climate change, just that we probably wouldn't need this conversation without fossil fuel extraction.
