Finally, a global warming solution. Then we send these balloons to Mars or something.
It's even easier than that - burn it for heat. It sounds bad, but it just produces water and a much smaller volume of CO2. Less greenhouse gas already, but then if you really wanted you could capture the water and CO2 and funnel it into a hydroponics greenhouse for food production - but even just burning methane and releasing directly into the atmosphere reduces emissions, and CO2 can be removed naturally much more readily than methane.
