One set of experts has systematically been through everything we are likely to eat and drink (contradicting themselves the following week), telling us every item will give us cancer of this, that and the other.

Other experts say we are heading for another Ice Age and the fiercest winter for decades.

We are running out of water but, never mind, keep on breeding like rabbits and we'll cut down more trees and keep building more houses.

We are contaminating the air we breathe. Perhaps if we all take it in turns, it might help.

Nobody mentions all the planes blowing out dear knows what into the atmosphere - there's too much money tied up in that industry and too many fingers in the pie.

There used to be a little man who walked the streets of this city with a sandwich board saying "the end of the world is nigh".

Don't people love to spread panic, gloom and doom. It's being so cheerful that keeps them going.

Thank you "experts". Have a nice day.
