wait a sec...dynosours are long lost in past....let me tell you of something more recent... a civilisation strikingly similar to ours.The civilisation of rapanui.They were very inteeligence and produced the best of engineers and scientists. But they could not control the greed. They lived on an island now called easter island. They could not control their population so there were more mouths to feed, they were dependent on fishing for food but now with more people they have to look for other resources so they started cutting the jungles around them and soon the dense forests became streaks of plants. Now with reduction in resources for food the riots broke out and people started fighting among themselves and whosoever won got his share of food. It was really an animal kingdom, with survival of the fittest. Now for cooking the food, the started cutting the leftover plants, at times in need they also burnt their boats which they used for fishing. After sometime there were no boats or trees, and every rainy season took a large toll of life, but they could not do anything, they had no land to move, no boat to save themselves and slowly they all died.
Is it what we are destined for..! we cannot control our population. we have exhausted most of our natural mines and those that are left are of poor quality or they cannot be mined. The government is deparatly looking for alternative sources of fuel, every year we face drought and flood in which thousands die? Think.
