What’s not taken into conservation with that comment is that methane at those altitudes does not impact much because the energy is radiate back to space.

You have doubled down on a casual assertion ("methane is not a significant greenhouse gas") because you don't understand radiative transfer in the upper atmosphere. It's OK, radiative transfer is complex. Your options are to accept this consensus, or do a lot more study than you have.
