Worm-opogenic Global Warming?

Even though the above worm may look innocent enough (certainly slimy enough!), a German study has found that worms produce greenhouse gases that are 290 times more potent than carbon dioxide. The Materials Recycling Network (UK site) has more information in a recent post titled Worms are killing the planet, says top researcher.
Maybe we should start talking about WGW (Worm-opogenic Global Warming) instead of AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming)!

I'll bet the worms don't feel guilty about their state of affairs - and are unlikely to use this article as an excuse to beat up on themselves, bash the United States, or raise taxes.
Perhaps they are more sophisticated than most members of the press and politicians?

It probably should be, SGW if we stick with Greek prefixes, hence: Skouliki-Genic Warming.

Hi Guys,
Guess I need to go fishing more to fight WGW and sink some carbon into the food chain and some fish into my belly.
