Truth seemingly stranger than fiction

One of the strangest ways offered to offset CO2, is by burning methane gas that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Burning methane actually generates 133 pounds of CO2 for every 1000 ft3, of gas that is burned. While its a shock to hear that burning methane offsets CO2, it turns out that each pound of methane released into the atmosephere is as damaging to the earth as 20 pounds of CO2. Thus burning this free methane to emit CO2 actually reduces the greenhouse effect. This is a case of the truth seeming stranger than fiction.
