From some Google Searches...

111,000 pounds of methane, multipled by factor of 80x, equal around 388M tons of CO2.

A car produces around 4.6 tons of C02 per year. So this makes the emissions equal to about 84M cars driving around for a year. Google says there are around 1.46 Billion cars in the world.

So this amount of greenhouse gas is around a 5.7% increase in our overall car emissions.
