Doh!, I was thinking about methane and got them confused, what an idiot.

Actually methane also is a major greenhouse gas. From the US EPA web site:

"Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas that remains in the atmosphere for approximately 9-15 years. Methane is over 20 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 100-year period and is emitted from a variety of natural and human-influenced sources."

So perhaps we should all re-consider that post-keiko meal of bean burritos.
