That was a click-bait headline. ;-)
Actual real numbers are here: 3. Anthropogenic Sources The university press release that your link cites says: VANCOUVER, Wash. – Washington State University researchers say the world’s reservoirs are an underappreciated source of greenhouse gases, producing the equivalent of roughly 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide a year, or 1.3 percent of all greenhouse gases produced by humans. It's an important source, but it's not what should be attacked first. Coal, oil, gas production, rice cultivation, etc., are much, much more important sources. Cheers, Scott. |

We can make better rice that doesn't make as much methane.
http://phys.org/news/2015-07-scientists-low-methane-rice.html Scientists said Wednesday they had created a rice variety with starchier grains that emits less methane, a step towards the twin goals of feeding more people and curbing global warming. Cheers, Scott. |
