Before you knew it there would be a dinosaur tax and we'd be hearing how they are bad for climate change or abusing the health service.

It would have to be a spectacularly different place, for dinosaurs to reappear. The Earth, 65,000,000,000 years ago (Google: Jurassic Era), was a suitable habitat for dinosaurs. It has been changing, since then, and that is a very long time, and finally became a habitat that suits mammals, primarily. Birds, and all the complexity of sea life, as well, of course... but the mammals more or less rule the Earth.
For one thing, it would have to be a great deal warmer, and more humid.
For another, dinosaurs and mammals don't eat the same vegetation.
Our air wouldn't be particularly breathable to them, nor our water, because dinosaurs liked a good deal more nitrogen in their air than is good for mammals or modern fish.
There is a very strong argument that what is left of the dinosaurs evolved into birds.
It would be 'interesting', indeed, if birds were to become the dominant life-forms on Earth, and take over land and oceans.
There is an ancient Chinese curse:'May you live in interesting times'.
Climate-change is 'interesting' enough for me. I'd just as soon not rewrite the entire ecology from the most microscopic life-forms on up, and the weather on down.

Yes, but also a lot more dangerous. There can't be many places left at the moment where they could live and roam free but maybe with global warming there'll be more chance of a comeback after a few years

Interesting maybe - more dangerous definitely! I think we have enough monsters on this declining earth without resorting to restoring dinosaurs (scary thought with all the DNA and stemcell technologies!!!)
