OK, this makes sense to me now.

I fear this is possible, seeing all the reports from oceanographic studies on elevated methane levels in our seawaters and the increase of it's release due to global warming. If we don't find a way to get a handle on all the emissions we produce every year, it will get worse. I don't think it will effect the rate at which CO2 is driven off though. Not anytime soon anyway.
Methane detectors can be placed in the home anywhere and look similar to a smoke detector. Putting it in the room where the gas appliance is, is the best way to get early warning of methane presence.
