I believe it mostly oxidizes turning into water vapor and carbon dioxide.

Indeed it does, both of which are greenhouse gasses in their own. The water has a relatively quick recycle but the CO2 has a longer one, and needs to be treated as warming attributed to the original methane emission as it is CO2 which would otherwise not be in the atmosphere
