New climate fear: Earthworms! ‘Climate scientists are worried’ earthworms ‘could potentially be contributing to climate change’ – ‘A surprisingly destructive force’

Justine Lejoly, a soil scientist with the University of Alberta in Edmonton researching the effects of earthworms on soil carbon dynamics, says the earthworms' voracious appetite has serious implications for the boreal forest's capacity to store carbon.

Scientists say some earthworm species are potentially speeding up climate change by feeding on leaves, then pooping out a mix that's fodder to tiny microbes and fungi that spew carbon into the atmosphere. By contrast, other worms are helping lock carbon in soil.

For the past 300 years, a slow-motion invasion has been unfolding under our feet.

The mere fact that somebody or some organization is paying for this stupidity is just more proof of the decline of western civilization.

Not too long ago, Science was configured to save us.  Now the opposite is mostly in effect.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Gotta love all these people who insist the processes that have kept nature going for millions, hundreds of millions of years, are just WRONG!

But then, there are artists, and there are critics... :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 My husband and sons will happily volunteer to help mitigate this impending disaster by drowning a few of those climate-destroying earthworms in the local fishing hole.

Haven't global warming whackos suggested eating worms and crickets rather than cows?  If the worms are so harmful, they'll have to be exterminated which means chemicals throughout the world in the soil.  Oh my, what will we do? OMGGGGGGG
