As per widely held theory, oil is formed by decomposition of carcass of animals of prehistoric times. With millions of cars in any given city of world, & so many vehicles, aircraft & other mode of transportation operating on oil all around the globe, it is wonder as to how many carcass of animals or dinosaurs would have dwelt on this globe, to run all these machines even for one hour ? Theory of 'oil from dinosaurs' implies that the oil tankers that move around us, are in fact the silos of dinosaurs' DNA!.
So there has to be just more than carcass of dinosaur as source of oil on this planet.
It is assumed that greenhouse gases do not let the heat of earth crust to escape,leading to increase in global temperature. It may be partially true, but not the complete truth. Crude oil which is extracted from the earth has 70,000+ derivatives , but is simply burnt by humans for their energy needs. The source of this crude is wrongly attributed to decaying carcass of dinosaurs under high heat & high pressure.
Actually it could be emanating from 10 KM thick, lubricating jelly like rock segment over which tectonic plates float. It lies between the tectonic plates & the asthenosphere ie lithosphere & asthenosphere boundary ( LAB ).

Apart from providing lubricating medium over which tectonic plates float, it also acts as heat insulation. It protects the earth crust from high temperatures at core, & it also helps the core of earth to retain heat, and thus maintain the very crucial magnetic dynamo of the earth. Globe is getting warm, more from it's internal heat than the 'greenhouse gases'.
In view of above, it is imperative that there is immediate clamp down on crude extraction from the earth surface, for further studies. It is important for future of mankind to find alternate source of energy like solar, hydro, hydrogen , fusion etc.
For that matter, even coal is better source of energy than burning crude.
Mars
Mars is our neighboring planet & humans have send many missions to study it. The major findings
include estimate of composition & temperature of core, constituents of it's atmosphere, it's very low atmospheric density, it's low magnetic field, which is result of low core temperature. For some reasons, the dynamo shutdown took place at Mars leading to reduction of magnetic field of Mars & thus the escape of atmospheric gases.
