It is great that you have listed the most important of the greenhouse gases. It's not just a carbon dioxide problem.
But the avenues for mitigation that you list are not very comprehensive; in fact, some are not really relevant. As an example, since the #1 source of methane in the atmosphere is livestock, it would be fair to say that cutting back on beef consumption would be the most effective thing we could do to reduce methane in the atmosphere.

Thanks for your feedback, David! I probably won't edit the article, since it has already been published and some people have viewed it, but I'll try to think about ways to apply your feedback if I ever write another similar article! :)
