Prophets of doom and gloom are always saying that we are heading for an environmental catastrophe, 
and that unless we adopt a policy of sustainable development, we will cause irreparable damage to 
the planet. The worst-case scenario is of a world choked by overpopulation, the greenhouse effect and 
traffic gridlock. Much of what is claimed is exaggerated, but politicians are influenced by such voices 
and are always trying to improve their green credentials in the eyes of the voters.
