CH4, the chemical formula for Methane, is not inert. This is because it is very flammable and reacts readily with oxygen (combustion) according to the reaction:
CH4 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + A lot of heat
However, if you try to burn pure methane, you will not get the chemical reaction listed above. In fact, if you tried to light pure methane with a candle, the gas would just snuff out the candle. This "snuffing-out" can be misunderstood as CH4 being inert, or not reacting to the presence of heat.
