And so I have to say that it makes sense to me that the modern state and its fuglemen are so determined that it not be familiar to schoolchildren, determined even to suppress the name of the holiday and to make sure its public depiction is carefully circumscribed, indeed marginalized.

Even though it only makes up 0.00017% (1.7 parts per million by volume) of the the atmosphere, methane traps a significant amount of heat, helping the planet remain warm and habitable.ASA Earth Observatory. download large image (4 MB, PDF).

Methane is a greenhouse gas, twenty-one times more powerful than c â¦ arbon dioxide. If methane is released into the atmosphere it works as a greenhouse gas. If it is burnt, it released carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, but it is not as powerful as methane.So burning methane is good for the environment.t is good to have methane in your compost heap, and bad to have too much methane in your house (KABOOM!). However, the Earth's ambient air always contains a certain amount of methane. Methane, by the way is a nontoxic odorless gas (contrary to common belief).
