Explanation:

Kyoto Protocol came into force in the year 2005. (Incorrect - The Kyoto Protocol came into force on February 16, 2005. However, the statement implies that it came into force specifically in the year 2005, which is misleading. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997, and the enforcement phase started in 2005.)

Kyoto Protocol deals primarily with the depletion of the Ozone layer. (Incorrect - The Kyoto Protocol primarily deals with reducing greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change, not the depletion of the ozone layer. The depletion of the ozone layer is addressed by the Montreal Protocol.)

Methane as a greenhouse gas is more harmful than carbon dioxide. (Correct - Methane is considered a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide over a shorter time frame. It has a higher global warming potential (GWP) over a 20-year period.)
