Yes, burning methane generates less CO2 per BTU than
methane.
But:
A significant amount of methane escapes the system in leaks
and gets into the atmosphere without being burnt. In the US,
about 1.4%. Other countries do much worse, and a recent satellite
has started mapping the problem:

Coal that 'leaks' out of the system just sits on the ground.
AND
Methane, molecule for molecule, is a far more potent greenhouse
gas than CO2. 120x as potent, in fact.
This is mitigated by the fact that methane only lasts about 10
years in the atmosphere, while CO2 lasts far longer.

So, I'd like to see some actual numbers to support of debunk this
claim, not a simple declaration.
I understand that methane in the sky is slowly
converted to CO2.
