I think we chould concern ourselves with more important issues... like how to produce beer and bacon more efficiently.

I can believe that. There are dinosaur bones petrified in various places on the planet's surface.
But if you look at the life cycle of the modern forests there is an exchange going on at the surface only. Trees, animals, etc grow up, mature, and die. They fall to the ground and decompose.
They are recycled via scavengers, bacteria, mushrooms, worms, etc.
Nowhere is the cycle that fed the vast underground wells of crude oil still happening on earth.
Why is that?
How did the crude oil get in the ground by the cubic mile and now that process of nature is now stopped?
Or is it really dinosaur based?

The marshes, well, vegetation in general were much larger and more lush, not to mention animals were much larger millions of years ago so the process was happening on a grander scale than we will ever see. Still, it is happening just at a rate that is much to slow to see.

Well.............................
where is the crude still being made?
I don't know of any natural conduits of crude oil and/or it's ingredients going down to the reservoir. Only of natural and man made streams coming up.
It all seems implausible to me.

And so unless we rebury all of the freed carbon, regardless of how many trees we plant we are destined to have a humid swampy Earth ?
