More aptly, I would suggest always TEST the numbers to understand what they mean and not what those who quote them say they mean. This is doing your own research and takes much more work (thought) than finding a YouTube video that agrees with one's beliefs. This implies we need to be prepared to accept a new conclusion.

You say.... "This will increase by roughly 35% if methane concentrations double, or decrease roughly 25% if concentrations return to pre-industrial levels."

A couple of Monkey Wrench Numbers for you... 80% of Methane is generated by wetlands... The Gov policy in the US in the 80's, 90's started the "Protect the wetlands" policy where they called a puddle in a field a protected wetland... How much of this "wetland" creation increased Methane production? And you didn't give a number to the Clathrate bed release of ancestral Methane shaken loose by undersea volcano heat and "plate scrape".... Just trying to help...
