Poland is infamous among climate hawks within Europe (including within Poland). As I say, unfortunately, it is like the Tea Party wing of the European Union. With approximately 90% of electricity coming from coal, the coal lobby is hugely powerful here — so deeply powerful that extremely smart and thoughtful people are indirectly misinformed by this industry. There’s also a strong anti-science trend here — on climate science as well as some other matters. If climate progress in the EU is blocked, it’s very likely blocked by Poland.
