I keep getting ads saying things like "landfills produce more methane pollutants than 56000 cars" or "tell Congress to fix this one methane leak." I also hear people bring up farming cows as a counter-arguement for any climate action (but not as a "let's fix this" type arguement sadly). So my thinking is why aren't people trying to harvest methane and use it for something? Is it inefficient? Are they stupid?

Yep, methane creates CO2 when burned. Atmospheric methane reacts with atmospheric OH to also make CO2 and water.
