Solution
Methane leads to both global warming \& photochemical smog.
Methane is generated in large amounts from paddy fields.
$\mathrm{CO}_2$ can be absorbed by photosynthesis, or by formation of acid rain etc., while no such activities are there for methane.
Hence methane is stronger global warming gas than $\mathrm{CH}_4$.
Methane is not a part of reducing smog.
