We need to address all of these issue. But I think you might be missing why CO2 is such a high priority. CO2 takes about 100 to go through the carbon cycle. So anything we do to mitigate it right now will not have effects for quite some time. Which is why it needs to be done now. On the other hand, even though Methane is a more potent GHG, it only stays in the atmosphere for a few years.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
