Stable macroscopic wormholes can certainly be used to violate causality,
yes. However, not all configurations of such wormholes do. Furthermore,
it may be that wormholes become unstable as they approach causality
violation. I think that, roughly speaking, you're okay as long as the
mouths move away from each other.

However, there are various theorems in GR that say that a change in
topology (for example, the production of a wormhole) necessarily leads
to the production of closed timelike curves. We'll be okay if there are
primordial microscopic wormholes that we can blow up though. Or perhaps
we'll be able to contain the CTCs behind event horizons somehow - after
all, there are black hole geometries that contain CTCs within the
horizon.

Rich, who really must finish reading Visser's _Lorentzian Wormholes_.
