Agrees enough’s converted into methane maybe (10,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

greenhouse gas

'methane maybe' is the definition.
(I know that methane is a type of greenhouse gas)

'agrees enough's converted' is the wordplay.
'converted' indicates an anagram.
'agrees'+'enoughs'='agreesenoughs'
'agreesenoughs' is an anagram of 'GREENHOUSE GAS'.

'into' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for greenhouse gas that I've seen before include "Carbon dioxide, for example" , "will affect the climate" , "Carbon dioxide, say" , "Carbon dioxide is one" , "Contributor to global warming" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
