Okay, i did an asignment on dinasaws and found out that oil field are old swamps full of dead dinasaws, some people on here tell me that globel warming is the work of nature, but i know that its people deliberately pumping them old swamps into the air thats making my planet hot not nature. Like i'm a kid and i know that, why don't some adults just stop pretending everythings going as it should and if theys so mature and on to it why do they sound so useless, like if we can chop it all down why can't we put it back, or is planting seeds and riding bike to hard. I ride my bike to school, why can't we have roads for bikes and skinny health bike riders rather than fat sick people in cars? Or is that a stupid kids question?

It's not stupid at all.. And the legacy of man will be left to you, if there is any left.
Your right in that hydrocarbons are thought to of possibly come from dinosaurs and other biomass to make up the crude oil we use for every day use, and your right in that we our raising the toxicity of our planet as well as potential harm to our climate.
People who say "Nature is worse.. wha wha wha" is an easy out to not coming up with a solution, the truth is that many companies and many politicians have put lots and lots of money in to things called "think tanks", but contrary to how they sound they are not about "thinking" but about "convincing" and usually science & factual data give way to propagation of propaganda. (AKA The Heritage Foundation)
These are very real problems, yes, and I'm sorry we could leave you a better planet. Hopefully with more forward thinking such as your own, we might just yet be saved from the gross legacy man is creating for himself.

Not a stupid question.
It's good to ask questions because the problem with being an adult is that you are to #$%^ busy to critically think about all of the issues impacting our world (such as global warming). I am not arguing that this makes it all okay; just trying to help you frame the problem.
Many 30-40 somethings are working, taking care of their kids, taking care of their parents, running a house, planning for retirement and trying to not end up as a fat sick person driving a car. Don't get me wrong some people pull it off it just becomes a matter of picking your priorities and letting some other things slide.
It's questions such as yours that makes people pause and think. Those are the moments that have great potential.
Bravo.

I agree with you. It isn't a stupid question.
And for the person that answered about it having nothing to do with dinosaurs and it being unimportant, you're an IDIOT. Where do you think oil comes from? FOSSIL FEULS! Dinosaurs!
Earth has a carbon cycle. Animals breathe in oxygen out carbon, plants 'breathe' in carbon and out oxygen. By pulling carbon that has been trapped into the ground for millions of years really throws off the balance. That wouldn't be too bad if it was just a small amount and if we weren't cutting down millions of acres of rainforest so people can eat meat.
The oil companies are what got Bush into office. He has to repay them by hiring scientists that will find false proof and BS stuff to America.
For New England to keep winters where they are, gas emmisions need to be cut by JUST 3%. Otherwise, in 30 years, winters up in New England will be like winter in South Carolina. I miss getting 3 feet of snow!! My dad remembers getting even more than that when he was younger. The New England economy will be thrown off.

There never were swamps in the middle east and the bottom of the ocean never had "dinasaws", so that blows your theory. Volcanoes pump more gases into the atmosphere than anything man can produce. Tell your teachers to stick to the 3 R's and stop indoctrinating your young mind! It's no wonder the schools are failing...

Yes, that's a silly kids' question, sorry.
The dinosaurs died out WAY before humans started to develop. Humans had nothing to do with what happened to the dinosaurs.
YOU try riding a bike with twenty bags of groceries, and see how you like it.
The world has warmed and cooled MANY times over the last few million years. Geologists have studied this. I believe them.

You see deary. I am an adult and I dont care as much as you do.
Honestly. If you are an adult and that you have a life to live. Work to do and other people who depend on you, you woulnt care too.
Adults work work and work..
We don't really care about anything at all except to survive.
So you see, adults dont really care about these little things.

You are wise beyond your years.You asked a very intelligent question and gave an intelligent solution.Encouraging bike riding is a start.Many European cities are doing just that.
