Government regulations, including those that are supposedly for environmental protection, increase the cost of doing business. Over the long term, it is conceivable that environmental regulations can bankrupt a nation, and there is some correlation of GDP and environmental impact, so the regulations may have a net negative effect on the environment. The statistics on such situations are convoluted, and can probably be used to prove the above statement wrong just as easily as proving it right.
