When methane is burnt does it produce more carbon dioxide than natural gas?

Methane is practically the same as natural gas. When 1 molecule of methane (CH4) is burnt in oxygen it produces 1 molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O). If the methane is NOT burnt it causes twenty times more damage as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. (So keep lighting those farts!)
