New Study: How worms may stave off global warming
A new report published Tuesday in the The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that the microbes that feed on decaying organic matter release roughly 7.5-9 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere than man-made emissions worldwide. The study's researchers detail how dirt-loving insects and worms graze on these CO2-emitting microbes, which means less CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere.
