Organisms have impacted climate and caused change since the beginning of life.
Methane is a greenhouse gas that contributes to warming, and has a halflife of something like 10 years, at which point turns into CO2 and water; so still greenhouse gasses.

Once the cat is out of the bag, there is no putting it back in. As technology makes the human species more powerful, there will be increasing threat to humanity for those who wish to use it for evil. Nuclear weapons are here, and they will stay. We can decide to use the technology to do something productive (produce useful energy), or we can resign the technology to destructive purposes.
Nuclear energy and nuclear weapons are not synonymous.
Who do you think lied about saying it would be too cheap to meter? Keep in mind a lie requires 2 things; the thing being stated is incorrect, and the intent was to deceive.
