Introduction<\/h3>\n

Climate policy is a rather controversial topic in Poland. There are many conflicting messages in the media. On the one hand, we hear that the climate must be protected. On the other hand, there are claims that it is not cost-effective and that global warming has no impact on the daily lives of Poles. One can get lost in all this, especially when politicians, journalists and sometimes even scientists themselves have divergent views on the subject. That is why we have decided to debunk 11 of the most frequently repeated myths about climate policy.<\/p>\n
