Since methane has a much shorter residence time in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, but has a greater warming potential over that time, the use of a 20 - year time frame makes methane seem more serious than if a timeframe of 100 years or longer is used.

Given how long CO2 and many other greenhouse gases (but not water vapor, which has a very short residence time in the atmosphere) remain in the atmosphere, there is a large body of evidence that these gases do have the ability to affect climate.

This is neither supported by the data (estimated sizes of flux), the large uncertainties and the fact that CO2 residence time in the atmosphere is very short — 5 years or so.
