Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that methane emissions cause global warming through the greenhouse effect?

Yes. Reference and official sources state that methane is a potent greenhouse gas and that rising methane emissions are a major contributor to observed global warming, with NASA attributing roughly 20-30% of warming since the Industrial Revolution to methane. Several peer-reviewed items also name methane among the greenhouse gases causing global warming, though they focus on narrower topics such as cattle, coal mines, or natural-source feedbacks.
