Ah, I've not heard of ants as a cause for the fall of the carboniferous era. Sounds plausible tho. I thought it was mushrooms and their eventual discovery of how to dissolve lignin.

The earliest known ants are around 100 million years ago. The carboniferous era ended around 300 million years ago. Ant as an explanation doesn't seem plausible to me.
