When I read "reduce warming" I interpret that as slow the rate of future warming, not reverse the warming of the past.
Since methane is a drastically more potent warming gas than C02, but eventually degrades into C02 on the scale of decades, skipping the decades of heightened warming effect in the atmosphere by burning emitted methane to C0w will have the effect of reducing the rate of future warming, and importantly buy us more time to ultimately solve the problem.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
