Effectively both. Methane is so much better at trapping heat than CO2 that even though it has a short lifetime (12 years), the total effect over longer timeframes is still very large. IPCC AR5 (2013) gives a Global Warming Potential for methane as 28x that of that of CO2 over 100 years. AR4 (2007)

because it might be something that is needed and we will want to do it the right way, but also because of the focus it brings to the issue of climate change. The chemtrail theory greatly muddies the waters in both these areas, and hence I feel it's an important topic to debunk. Regard, Mick West

Regarding kerosene lantern alternatives, there's a very interesting gravity driven lamp that looks like a much more cost effective technology than solar energy. Due to simplicity and low cost, I think it has a much greater potential to quickly eliminate a large percentage of kerosene lanterns.
