In the coming weeks a monumental decision will be made that will influence the future evolution of global climate policies. A single country has in its power the ability to alter the course of global negotiations and change the dynamics of a political debate characterized by gridlock. That country is . . .

Poland. Yes, Poland. (It is not the U.S. presidential election.) Over the next 6 weeks, the EU, with France taking the lead, must convince Poland (plus other Eastern European countries and Italy) to fall in line with (i.e., not veto) its ambitious climate policies or else see them utterly fall apart.

Essentially you have one country that is very secure in it’s energy, cause it uses coal. And, another country that is dependent on others, and wanting to change climate policy, because it serves their national interest.

I have found two interesting articles about it HERE and HERE.

I think we have an interesting few weeks ahead of us…..
