When you burn one molecule of Methane you end up with two molecules of Water:

CH4 + 2 O = CO2 + 2 H2O

 

CH4 = Methane (Natural Gas)

O = Oxygen

CO2 = Carbon Dioxide (aka plant food)

H2O = Water

Heh Heh, clever observation.  Plus, it's put out in a nice clean gaseous form right into the atmosphere where it can go immediately to work making rainclouds!
