So? Pumping it out of the ground isn’t harmful. Setting it on fire IS harmful.

We also recover it from our garbage dumps. Methane is in a lot of places. You can make a closed loop from a city composting collection project. Many cities do this and burn the methane in generators as that is the better alternative but it releases co2. Make fish food instead.

Pumping it out of the ground is harmful. It contains fossile carbon that should not end up in the atmosphere but it does even when you first feed it to fish and the fish to humans. In the end, it is breathed out and the carbon is in the atmosphere. No difference to being burned.

It is very harmful, just google fracking.

Yes, we can recover it from dumps, but the overwhelming majority of it comes from harmful wells.
