What happens to methane? Combines with something else?
Wikipedia Wrote:Reaction with the hydroxyl radical- The major removal mechanism of methane from the atmosphere involves radical chemistry; it reacts with the hydroxyl radical (·OH) in the troposphere or stratosphere to create the CH·3 radical and water vapor. In addition to being the largest known sink for atmospheric methane, this reaction is one of the most important sources of water vapor in the upper atmosphere.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
