Interestingly earthworms went extinct in most of north america after the last ice age, and their re-introduction in 1500+ means they are making their way through organic matter in Canada's boreal forests that were previously sequestering large amounts of carbon. No way to roll it back though.

When Worms came out in '95, I had a feeling there was something deeper, more profound to it, but I couldn't tell what it was.

Now it all finally makes sense!
