Well that’s overcomplicating it quite a bit. Just look at the carbon-based molecules. Lump CO2 and CH4 together. Their ratio can be approximated as a constant over some time so who cares. Part if is from newly extracted fossil material, part of the lot is recycled. That's it.

In terms of atmospheric carbon, it's either newly brought up from underground petroleum, or it's recycled from what's already up here. If you care for volcanoes, you can add them as a third source.
Methane becomes CO2 which is absorbed by plants we eat to produce methane again. Recycling.
Methane cracking is good for the climate. Instead of burning methane and contribute to global warming, they crack methane to produce hydrogen and solid carbon for materials (construction, electronics and advanced materials). If i had my way, all natural gas would be cracked instead of burned. The less methane extracted the better, but still the best use for methane.
You never produced, you can only recycle.
New greenhouse gases are produced where they produce fertilizer for the foods you eat.
well, they train their AI with pro fossil propaganda as you see in forums like this. in fact, AI searches forums like this and makes summaries to answer questions you might ask it.
You just have to expect it. I wear bug spray.
"But but but! If we're going to solve pollution, we'll need more of those AI data centres!"
Wrong thread buddy. Maybe you need a refresher in navigation theory.
What you need is a cookie. Cheer up.
