Greens are sounding the alarm

The politicians of the Green Party today presented the conclusions of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (IPCC) in the Sejm and called on the government to draw conclusions from the document announcing a significant increase in temperatures in the near future.

"The report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate is the highest alarm for humanity. Man has already warmed the climate at a rate unprecedented in 2000 years. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has been the highest in 2 million years. We must change that," MP Urszula Zielińska informed. 

"In the week the IPCC report was published, PiS passed a law that allows for another massive logging, Lex Izera," Zielińska added.

Presenting the conclusions of the report, politicians from the Green Party emphasized that literally every ton of carbon dioxide emissions translates into an increase in temperature and increases the risk of floods, record heat, and scorching droughts.

"The Polish government by Lex Izera is planning to cut 1,500 ha of forests in Poland. The IPCC report shows that we have only 4 to 8 years to reduce emissions. The Polish government is doing nothing, and the climate crisis is treated as another ideology," Krzysztof Rzyman, councilor The Green Party National Council, the capital's entrepreneur, said.

Rzyman added that the government's plan to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 is missing, the government's plan to reduce emissions by 55 percent in line with the EU guidelines by 2030 is missing, and there is no government response to the IPCC report.

MP Urszula Zielińska announced the activity of the Green Party, saying that in September members of the Green Party would go to Poland to say that every zloty invested today in building climate resistance, preparing for floods, droughts, fires, etc. makes 6 zlotys saved in the near future.

“We will argue that Polish energy may be zero-emission, it does not have to be based on Russian gas, it does not have to be based on the French or American nuclear power plant, and it does not have to be based on Russian coal,” she announced.
