The link you used is the daily picture. That means it changes ... uh... daily? The correct link to use is the archive of the same article http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020212.html
Recent evidence holds that methane (CH4) is second only to carbon dioxide (CO2) in creating a warming greenhouse effect...
The site is great but they do sometimes let their politics get in the way of the facts. Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the largest contributors to the natural greenhouse effect due to their overall abundance in the atmosphere. Who says? Why that is a direct quote from the article NASA linked to under "evidence" to support their claim that methane was second.
