Attack of the Killer Worms
Obviously, birds are not doing their jobs to eat enough worms. As a result, global warming could be getting out of control because of these wigglers, who seem intent on taking over the world after destroying mankind...if the melting ice caps don't drown them first. I also blame fishermen who spare worms by switching to artificial lures as bait. Note this article from Material Recycling Week.
Worm composting could be doing more harm than good to the environment, a leading researcher claimed today.Composting Association research director Jim Frederickson said: “Worms produce a significant amount of greenhouse gases. Recent research done by German scientists has found that worms produced a third of nitrous oxide gases when used for composting.”
The ‘wiggly ones’ naturally produce nitrous oxide gases when they are put into the process of composting.
...Frederickson said: “Everybody loves them because they think they can do no harm but they contribute to global warming. People are looking into alternative waste treatments but we have to make sure that we are not jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
...“The emissions that come from these worms can actually be 290 times more potent than carbon dioxide and 20 times more potent than methane. In all environmental systems you get good points and bad points.”
This is a serious problem. Worms represent a group that Democrats can't control by promising amnesty and the right to vote. ...but, I bet that they thought about trying. They each have something in common...they are both slimy.
Don't think that attacking worms and cutting them into pieces will help. Doing that will allow them to regenerate into even more worms. How sinister can they get?

But wait! "worms produced a third of nitrous oxide gases when used for composting." Nitrous oxide!? Maybe we can just laugh this off.
