Hi, Rai,what we have to do in this moment, is to save the atmosphere as a natural element that enables life in this world.
I`m sure that there is as much coal, or carbon, in this world as ever has been before. But this life, and that of our children, needs an atmosphere with very much less of dioxide of carbone than in this moment. Maybe that dinosaurs didn`t matter so much upon this matter. But human being does. So I think, and you may have already seen that I`m not a geologist, a biologist or somebody like that, that it is preferible to change the carbon of the atmosphere into carbon catched in furniture, in floors, in green plants than in our amosphere. And it is not so important for me that it gets back into stone.
My lopinion.
HUgs,
Michael.
