Every day we pollute our planet further and not many seem to care about the consequences of such behavior. Ironically the pandemic of COVID-19 assisted us for some time, as during the total lockdown the emission of CO2 and other gases drastically drop. Sadly, even this wasn't nearly enough to prevent the changing environment. Some say climate changes every few centuries, and they are partially right, but this time it is happening extremely fast for the natural process. The civilization serves it by eradicating hundreds of wildlife alongside. There is no happy end to this. We either focus on not producing so much gas and the other toxic factor or the next generation won't be able to breathe fully. Let's now watch this medium length video to learn more about this or if we even stand a chance of this demon we created.
Few questions after watching the video:
1. Do you believe in climate change or think this is all a big false?
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
Comments
If it comes to Poland, I hope the nuclear energy will finally be approved by society. There was a plan of creating one way back in the past (Żarnowiec), but it failed due to protests and lack of trust to the nuclear power. I cannot blame people back then to be cautious about it - after what happened in USSR in 1986 in Chernobyl, they had every right to be terrified. But now, it was so long ago, the standards are way better, and our country isn't all about communist 300% of workday rule. I just heard yesterday that a nuclear reactor is in the works in Poland and they will try to build the power plant as soon as the reactor is ready. It'd solve so many problems with blackouts during summertime (with everyone using air conditioning, fans, etc), transitioning to more eco-friendly energy and so on.
Actually I remember a lot of snowy winters and Christmas. I remember back in 2011, the winter was so harsh it was -30 degrees Celsius outside and my father made up a little ice rink in the backyard for me to go ice skating. And well, there is still snow every year, but mostly during January/February, not November or December. And well of course it's not snowing as heavy as it used to sometimes, but I think people will get to see snow in the future. At least I hope so.
Electric cars for me have no sense in the CO2 reduction process, because in Poland energy is produced by burning coal. I think hybrid cars are a better way to reduce CO2 emissions. But the best way for ordinary citizens is using public transport: trams, trains and busses, especially that public transport in Warsaw is well developed, and tickets are quite affordable. One hybrid bus emits CO2 like one ordinary personal car, but it can carry twenty times more people. In addition, personal cars create a lot of noise and traffic jams. The best solution for city authorities is narrowing of roads in favor of bicycle paths, tram lanes and separate bus lanes. Obstructing road traffic will make more and more drivers abandon personal cars in favor of public transport and bicycles.
As far as I know, introduction of atomic energy is not planned in Poland. Rather, it is planned to use renewable energy. But right-wing parties unfortunately are not interested in CO2 reduction, because they are backed by miners. So they continue coal burning and use some propaganda to convince citizens that it is the best means of energy for Poland.
I was born in 2000, and I remember the really snowy winters. I have pictures from my childhood, where I play with my family and dogs against the background of the frozen sea or a garden covered with snow. I remember one snowy day my parents decided to make a barbecue in our garden. I hope my kids will have the opportunity to enjoy the first snow and winter fun.
Recent temperature trends are indeed going up. Many grim predictions by repeated on social media.
Certainly, there are also scientific claims to back it all up.
Can we really trust scientists that are making those claims? Or just any scientist at all.
I will start by reminding that in XX century, scientists were claiming that we will run of out gas by now...
Naturally, everyone has right to be wrong. Even highly specialized professionals in their domain.
Consequently, even if we assume that they are working purely out of pursuit for truth and are not corrupted by any party,
let's take into account that their combined, proven work, can simply be futile and wrong.
As humans we constantly learn, perfect ourselves and this process can last for generations.
Besides, how much far into the future can we safely predict weather?
At one point, humanity says: "It's impossible!" and the next day inventor appears with a solution...
Do we take it into account? Can something like that even be included in predictions?
I am not saying we shouldn't trust anyone. Just do not judge people with different opinions too soon.
Instead of limiting people by taking their cars, jobs or imposing regulations and obstructions, empower them!
I don't know if this is possible for Poland to build nuclear power plant in current state of things, but I believe that Poland would benefit far more by finally reducing taxes and bureaucracy.
As Abraham Lincolm said "The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people"
Regarding snowy Christmas, I experience it every year and if young ever will not, well it is like us not experiencing living dinosaurs...
We can live with that :)
To be honest, I am sure that younger generations will be able to do more actually, so I wouldn't pity for them.
2. I think it would require a lot of effort, money and help from the EU, for example. But it's better not to build nuclear power plants in a hurry. We must remember that this can have catastrophic consequences. The history of the Chernobyl power plant is a good example here. Reactor number 4 was built of cheap, flammable materials that were not suitable for building such a power plant. Therefore, the consequences of a failed reactor test were even worse than they could have been if the reactor had been built correctly.
3. I remember having a snowy Christmas. Unfortunately, the last Christmas were exceptionally warm, without snow and all the magical atmosphere that always accompanied them. It is a pity that nowadays children cannot walk around making a snowman or go sledging.
2. It is technologically possible to build a nuclear power plant in Poland before 2030. According to statistic I found, median construction time of nuclear reactor worldwide is about 5 years. I am doubtful that Poland will build such a reactor, It requires more than just technology. It's a matter of politics influenced by public opinion, which is probably very hard to change.
3. Yes, I remember snowy Christmas from my childhood. With the current growth of temperature it is very unlikely that people in our climate zone will experience heavy snow winters. Snow may become luxury, available only in certain places in the world.
I do believe in climate change. I mean it is visible, so it's hard for me to understand those who thinks that it is some kind of big conspiracy theory. :D I was working as a somelier once, and during the wine course my teacher said, that in 20 years period we would be able to grow in Poland some grape strains, that are now possible to produce only in Italy or Spain. Also I've noticed that it's nearly impossible to live in the city during the summer, which was not a problem before. The heat is kicking hard from the hot buildings or streets. Also my big dream - visiting Maledives could not be possible, because it is said that in 20 years the will be totally drowned. I have even heard a rumour, that the ruler of those islands is buying lands in Spain to relocate Maledivian people.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I think it is possible, but not likely. Actually the problem is that lots of Polish people are scared of them, remembering the Chernobyl explosion and side effects it caused. Although it is possible technologically, I don't believe it would happened.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I do remember snowy Christmas! I also remember snowy Easter. :D I think that people far younger than us won't get that chance unfortunately. It is now hard to experience that in Poland. Maybe in the south region of our country it could be still possible, but not in the center or north of it. Actually last year I was going to a mountain trip, somewhere around the end of February, and all the way there it was really warm and sunny. I've lost all the hope for any skiing or snowboarding experience, unless I arrived. Passing the plate with the city name the situation changed completely! There was a lot of snow, reaching almost my thighs. I felt like I was in a different dimension. :)
2.I think that the creation of a nuclear power plant in Poland is not possible by society. People in Poland when they hear about a nuclear power plant think about Chernobyl. There is social fear of this solution.
3.Yes, I remember playing in huge snowdrifts as a child and I could afford to build a snowman. I miss such a winter and I am afraid that the next generations will not be able to see such weather. Well, unless they go to a country with a different climate.
I don't understand how could anyone believe that climate change is false. I've read some of the answers, here on our blog. I don't understand why would anyone don't take it seriously either.
We should listen to the scientists because this is the most reliable source of information and data. Even if, the scientifical consensus is wrong from time to time, it shouldn't be the case that we do not listen to them. We should adhere to the prescriptions that scientists are giving us.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I don't know much about it. It is a very complicated process, a lot of sides of the dispute would have to come up with an acceptable solution.
Maybe with the support of the EU, we would be able to carry out something like this.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I love snowy weather, so it is very unfortunate for me that there is a chance that I won't be able to see any white Christmas anymore. Thinking about future generations, I think they might be losing something magical about this holiday.
I do believe in climate change, the facts for it are undisputable and the dangers connected to it very real.
2.
It could be possible however not very likely. Poland is too dependent on coal right now and it's unfortunately in the very bottom of the eu list when it comes to using green energy.
3.
It all depends where one is living. I think in Poland snowy Christmas is still a normal thing and will continue being it for a good few next years to come. In a more distant future it's not so certain however.
Yes, I definitely believe in climate change but I think that now exists one big problem with this. Nowadays people care more about profits than improving the environment. It means that environmental protection slogan it's a business more than desire of improving the condition of the environment.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I don't believe that it is possible for Poland because residents will be afraid of the possible consequences of a nuclear power plant accident. The construction of the power plant will trigger numerous revolts and protests. So on the one hand we have mentality of people but on the another hand will be money of course. It's a very expensive undertaking.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I remember snowy Christmas time but I think it's not completely related to global warming. I believe it's a coincidence that there has been no snow in recent years. It's not as fast climate changing to deprive Christmas of snow over the course of several years.
2. I believe that there is no chance of that. Our government is a bunch of incompetent people who don't understand the world today. They want to stay in power at all costs - they don't look to the future. The only hope for a nuclear power plant in Poland is a private investment.
3. Sure I remember. Let's not exaggerate, there was snow for Christmas a few times and it was very frosty. I think that this year, exceptionally, it will snow. I sincerely like winter and snow, so I hope that the frosty, snowy Christmas will come back.
2. I don’t know. I have no knowledge about Polish governments plans concern create the nuclear power plant. So I guess that if we have 2020 now, 10 years are too few to make such difference. It is also a problem about social awareness. Mostly alter people reject fact about global warming. Also Fake news and conspiracy theory make situation even worse so it is very important to talk about it an increase knowledge in society.
3. I remember snowy Christmas, and I think it still can happen. During climate crisis happens exacerbate weather, which means that every breakdown (like long drought or huge snowstorms) happens frequently. So we may witness huge breakdown as winter of the century and then drought of the century.
2. As far as I know, nuclear power plants have been talked about for over 50 years. Maybe instead of just talking and planning, they should start working on it?
3. Of course, I remember the snowy holidays of Christmas and I think that we will watch the snow at the end of December of this year. There is nothing more fun than going knee-deep for a midnight mass in the snow.
Government should prepare some restrictions in the heating, and for example maybe provide some grants for people who cant afford to furnace change.
2. In my opinion that could happen. Many ears ago especially after Chernobyl disaster many people were afraid of such things, but for now I think most of Poles would like to have such power plants in our country.
3. Yes, when I was younger almost every Christmas was snowy. At present during the last few in my region there was almost no snow.
I didn’t have the opportunity to become more interested in the topic of nuclear power plants in Poland. Perhaps because it seems impossible to build such a facility in Poland. Stereotypes on this subject, requirements for huge funds and a well-organized, long-term project - these are the main points through which I believe that building such a nuclear power plant, especially until 2030, is impossible in our country.
Yes, I do remember a snowy Christmas. Some of them were milder, others frosty and with a lot of snow. I love it when we have snow in December, thanks to which the atmosphere of Christmas becomes unique. Without real winter, I have the impression that something is missing. I hope that there are many snowy holidays ahead of us and younger people.
2.I think that 10 years is not enough to create a working nuclear power plant in Poland. People are afraid of such solutions after numerous power plant failures. ur economy is based on coal mining, we cannot afford any other alternative becous its is expensive. For so long, we have failed to create a nuclear power plant, or to encourage the public to use such solutions, for example by providing reliable information about nuclear energy. As long as the Chernobyl catastrophe is remembered, it will be difficult to convince people about the safety of such solutions.
3.Yes, I remember snow Christmas. We did not experience this climate in the previous year. I wonder if this will be possible this year. Snow has fallen in the mountains in October, but will it fall for us when we want to see it? Will people much younger than us see snow during Christmas? Perhaps only in photos or videos.

Unfortunately, there's almost no chance. I don't want to get too much political, but the current strategy relies mainly on coal. Some people have Chernobyl flashbacks and are simply scared. But let's not compare soviet technology to a modern one. Nuclear and renewable energy will probably be the only options in the future.
Of course, I do. If I remember correctly in 2005 it was like -25 degrees outside for a week. Younger people will see snow for sure, but probably it will stay for a day or two and melt because of the temperature above 0.
It is definitely possible. On exactly this date, owning electric cars will start to make sense. Today, charging the battery of an eco-friendly electric car in Poland makes no sense. The "clean" energy for this car comes from coal-fired power plants that pollute the environment. It's like driving a steam locomotive with extra steps.
I remember when there was half a meter of snow for Christmas. I remember Christmas when I was going to my grandma's house and my mother dragged me on a sled. I remember making a snowman on the second day of Christmas and clearing snow from the driveway before Christmas Eve. I'm not sure if all of these things happened in the same year and I'm just cherry picking now. Yet anecdotal evidence like this may open some people's eyes if they can't uderstand sciene data.
There is nothing to believe or disbelief. The climate change is indisputable scientific fact that everybody should obey.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I think it should happen as fast as possible, but in this country such big venture would never be able to realisation. For every 10 PLN invested into the nuclear power plant 9 PLN would go to some corrupt politician pocket. There is also problem with ignorant people that are scared of the project, so they will protest it and in consequence slow it down significantly.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I have bad memory of my childhood, but I barely remember seeing snow in Christmas times. I remember I have built an igloo with my grandfather for my dog. Now this would be impossible due to lack of snow.
Climate change is a stated fact not something that we believe in. However small part of those changes is not connected to actions of people. Climate changes periodically, it gets hotter and colder in cycles but the changes in recent years are certainly made by people because natural climate changes take thousands of years to take place. I cannot imagine why people would think otherwise.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
With our current attitude to nuclear energy and whole pandemic going on I do not think that it is possible to build nuclear power plant in Poland. Curiously not many people know that some time ago in Żarnowiec we started building one, but it was cancelled due to people being afraid of nuclear power (that is what I meant by “our attitude). I visited this abandoned construction site once and I must say that it was sad view, although only foundations were built. It is a shame that it was not build, but it is understandable why people were afraid back then (it was not that long after the accident in Chernobyl.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
To be honest I remember only one snowy Christmas, usually it was snowing before Christmas but on the holidays temperature was above zero, so everything melted down. To be honest I do not think that far younger will have a chance because climate change is a well-known fact and yet we do not do enough to stop gas emission or garbage storing/recycling them.
2 / Perhaps, if someone will take on this project, seriously. And the investors of this project will appear.
3 / I was born before 2000, so I still remember the snowy New Year and snowy roads above the knee. When you need to get there on ski boots and sled through the snowdrifts.
2. I think it's physically possible, but talks about this subject have been present in Poland for decades and projects never left early planning phases. While I hope that Poland will gradually move on from conventional energy sources to renewable ones in the near future, it won't start with a new power plant in Poland in the next decade in my opinion.
3. I was born before the year 2000 and remeber the years in which the Christmas meant several centimeters of snow and stone cold weather overall. Unfortunately i think that wasn't the case for at least the last few years, if there was snow during Christmas it was instantly melting due to high temperatures. However, I remain optimistic in that regard and think that younger people will be able to see it. Our climate might get more continental, which would result in harsher winters and if that's not enough Poland is not the only country where you might be able to see snow.
I don't think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030. Majority of polish population is still scared of nuclear energy after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which many of them still remember.
If Nuclear plant were to be built in Poland, it would be a big competition with coal power plants. Coal still plays a major role in the Polish economy, so people who profit from it, surely would be against building a competetitive power source.
Moreover, i think it would be hard to find money to fund it, especially in times of world pandemic and troubles it causes to the economy.
I do remember snowy Christmas from my childhood. It is one of my finest memories, running in a snow maze taller than me. I used to spend Christmas with my grandparents who live in the warming region, there was always plenty of snow. I can't recall when was the last time I saw snow on Christmas, but I'm sure we had snowy Eastern few years ago. Christmas without snow lacks something important, the atmosphere is not the same and less magical.
Yes, I belive in climate change. I belive scientiscts all over the world that has evidence that climate change is a thing. I think, that if you don't belive in climate change you just simply deny science.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
Today, with our current government and "social wokeness" I think it's impossible to build nuclear power plant before 2030. For around 30 years we're ruled by the same old people that has almost the same mindsets. I'd belive in that if people really'd like to change something for example by changing the rule party in our country. Instead of this we have (as I mentioned before) the same "faces" in parliament, without almost any willing to changes.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
Yes, I remember snowy Christmas. If I think about Christmas, I still have the same snowy vision as I was a child. But unfortunately, I think that people younger than us couldn't expierence holidays like this anymore. The climate change has gone to far and our last chance is to reduce it's power as much as we can. But to do that we have to act now, not in 10 years, not in 5 years, now!
I belive it. I belive in science because science gave us one nice thing which is called technical civilization. Comupters, reaserches, knowleadge about universe and about our world. So why depreciate scientist who gave us so much?
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I dont belive in it unfortunately. People in general does not like new inventions especially when they dont understand it. I guess most people are not interested from where the electricity comes from and whats the difference for them is it from coal powerplant of nuclear powerplant. And nuclear power is something that gives us negative conotations. In the end the Charnobyl was nuclear powerplant and it fails so it means that nuclear energy id dangerous.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I dont really know. I hope so to future winters to be snowy but what will be we will see.
2. Nope. My grandfather was actually going to work on the one that was about to be built in Pomorskie county, but even then, people blocked this idea. Having in mind all the garbage that is now poured to the internet, (such as evidence of the earth being flat and 5G causing Covid) I rather doubt that it will happen, at least not without protests of uneducated masses.
3. I sure remember it! I always hoped that it will be snowy enough to build an igloo. We tried, and have built some snowy constructions, however, it wasn't even close enough to my (other) Grandpa stories. He told me that he remembered such winters, where the sidewalks slowly become more like corridors. I dreamed of such a winter all my childhood.
Yes I also hopes we will get a nuclear reactor, Thorium runned maybe as it is much better than Uranium and also far safer. Electric cars are really problematic right now, hybrid or LPG are more eco-friendly, but maybe in few years they will truly become better option than others, at least from our planet point of view.
There is one problem. Poland actually do not produce so much energy by burning coal. We pay miners to dig it, but because it is so expensive it only lies and is never used. Poland import cheeper coal even from Australia and buy energy form many countries in Europe, especially atomic one from Belarus. Let's not forget about gaspipes from Russia. It is really stupid for our goverment to do such a thing, but they still have votes. Goes no one want's to have extremely cheap energy and more money to spend.
I hope that in 2030 with all of the things humanity do, there will be snow in mountains at least. Right now I am not so sure.
Yes, they were saying that we will run out of gas soon. But more deposits are found each they because of legal changes all around the world. And also because of buisness on the summit. Taxes, taxes and taxes, with nucelar power every many homes and factories could have cheaper electricity and we use it heavily. By cutting this prices, everyone would have more money to spend and then we would be able to invest in something else. If won't prioritizatize things in good manner we may have no future to invest in. In my opinion our planet first.
The Chernobyl is really just a ghost from the past. Let's remember the backstory for it as they were doing uncertain test in consequence to the reactor melted all this years ago. And becuase of USSR propaganda it was hidden for to long. It was 34 years ago man... we really have better technology and at least OHS (BHP in Poland) to back it up.
Yeah people really should learn that nuclear power is far safer that they think. Thorium is actually a good product to work with in comparison to Uranium.
2. I would like to believe it, I am a fan of nuclear energy. Unfortunately, I don't believe in our government, no matter which party is in charge. Nuclear energy in Poland has been talked about for years, and the effects are still not visible, only public money is wasted.
3. Fortunately, yes, I do. As a child, I liked to play in the snow, but instead of making a snowman, I tried to make as big a snowball as possible. Now I hate winter and snow. However, children usually love it and it's a pity they experience it less and less. I think kids will still experience snowy winters, but not necessarily Christmas.
Yes, the Chernobyl drama is still in minds of those that think they know everything by only watching television. I don't know how to educate such people but I hope I find a way one day.
Then we should educate those narrow minded that have only Chernobyl in their minds.
Yes, the next generation will watch Home Alone and asking what it is all this white fluff around.
Poland is not dependent on coal actually. We buy gas from Russia, coal from Australia for example, and a lot of nuclear power from other countries like Norway or Belarus. Our coal is only costing as extra as it is never used!
Many people should learn that we use nuclear energy from other countires. Maybe society needs a simple choice, we pay double for electricity, every home, office and factory, or we finally start building nuclear power plants.
Private investment? I would love it but it is impossible, there is no law that someone would get permission from our medival way goverment.
Yes, to back up weather anomalies there were a few whirlwinds seen in Poland last year. Not so dangerous like those in Florida, but this may, and sadly will, change for worse.
Yes, they should start working on it, but laws and narrow minded people love to hold us as poor country.
I would love to see nuclear power plant in Poland. Sadly Chernobyl HBO work wasn't watched by all poles so still there are many narrow minded people that are afraid of it.
Yes, I do believe in climate change, it's hard not to believe in global warming. However, it is difficult to predict its exact consequences, which causes skepticism in some people due to the many catastrophic visions announced in the past.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I think it is impossible for Poland to create a nuclear power plan before 2030. In the world after the pandemic, such investments will certainly be postponed. Also the negative attitude of society towards this type of energy makes it difficult to start work.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I do remember snowy Christmas, but I was still a child then. It seems to me that younger generations will have less and less contact with snow.
Yes, besides the point that Chirstmas amtosphere is a bit fake from historic point of view, the lack of snow push it to the limit. Also snow helps us when the day is shorter, it provides a good light "source" as it reflect lights form all around the city and moon.
Actually there wasn't so many power plant failures. And all of them are quite old from technology point of view. Chernobyl '86, Fukishima '11. We have better technology now and the race is on.
Sadly POland is not even using all the coal we mine, we buy from other countries because it is cheaper from Australia for example. Our coal is only for propaganda and coal miners to not fight with goverment.
No, I believe that is real. In my opinion people who think that is a lie and a fake are in big a mistake. It’s something that we can debate or make some deals, we need to start doing something opposite right now because we just don’t have any plan B when the Earth’s goona be “done”. I mean we’ll exploit Earth in 100% and there will be nothing else than a dust.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I think it is impossible for Poland to move from the medievalism in this millennium. -Just kidding even that would not be enough. Being serious, in my opinion Poland with actual government are not going to make any big technology progress so I don’t think so that we will get nuclear power plan before 2030 – maybe that’s “better” or just more safety for sure (I don’t want to see Chernobbyl.v2 from my window in my apartment.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
That’s very interesting question, because I literally have no idea. Unfortunately, I don’t have some big knowledge about the weather and etc but I can imagine that real winters in Poland are gone forever. That’s sad for sure and even more disturbing because as I said before we don’t have any other planet for plan B (even a small spaceship either).
Nuclear power plants can save us a bit longer, but in Poland it’s a tough nut to crack. It’s not only to make plans and just build it. It’s more about politics, and fear. Personally I met a lot of people who are just worried about nuclear power plants. Maybe till 2030 thoughts will change and we will be able to create one? I’m not sure, but still have some hope.
I do remember snowy Christmas, where you barely could open doors, because of snow. I believe we still have a chance to see that again, but if we won’t do anything to slow climate change, it’s hard to say, if my children can see a snowy Christmas.
The biggest problem of electric car is creating their engine. Actually creating one engine emits more CO2 than benefit of driving it. Maybe in not distant future it will be better.
With goverment we have not many option, but we can give protesting people a choice, nuclear power plant with cheap electricity and eco-friendly or double the price the electricity for everyone. Suddenly they don't care about their "safety".
There is still reactor Maria or something like that. I heard about it some time ago. WOnder if some tv project about nuclear awareness would help.
I remember few years ago you could drive like 200 km from Warsaw and gets really good point for skiing. Even at the begining of December. Now even in high mountains snow for skii is problematic and most of it is fake.
I want to be such optimist. I sadly believe snow will remain only in past movies like Home Alone and most humanity will forget it.
It is not about remembering Chernobyl. It is about the fact how many people don't know the truth behind whole USSR propaganda and other factors which created this accident. Some people just won't listen.
I fully agree with you. In fact I can't remember last snowy Christmas. Everything melts in a blink of an eye.
People should be taught more about energy. Poland in fact use nuclear energy as we buy it from other countries.
Yes, I am asking such question, believe it there are thousand of people that think debunking it is safer. But the longer they don't care about it, the sooner it will hit them back.
Weather anomalies are something that may become normal. Some whirlwinds were spotted in Poland this year. They are not so defastating, but It could be a matter of time before they may become a problem.
Yes, it is almost painful to watch as some believe in old book without a single source to it, but debunk something the can observe with their own eyes.
Chernobyl is a mix of many bads things starting from communism. Right now we have far safer Thorium and less propaganda to worry about. Without some mad scientist there is really low chance of it going boom. And still mitigation of such accident is far easier now.
Maybe we will see some snow. Weather anomalies are becoming more often and more random with each year. I believe we can see some snow in July in a matter of years, but I hope I'm mistaken.
I think it is not possible, but I can be surprised. Sometimes the right motivation works wonders.
I remember a snowy Christmas, although it doesn't make me so impressed. Anyway, I hope that future generations will see snow, but there is still a lot of snow in other parts of the world.
I do believe in climate change. What is really funny is that there is more likely to be global cooling than global warming. I consider it as a really interesting topic yet I feel like some of them must be fake as our last winters were... How to put litely... Kinda bad and hot.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I think I'ts actually possible. I already have contracts. can't tell if it's good or not but its happening and 10 years is more than enough to fulfill these plans.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I do remember! Maybe not like my parents that have stories like "snow was so high it was reaching the roof!", or "when i was your age i had to walk 30 miles to get to school though snow that was higher than me". Some are exaggarated but still enjoyable to hear. I still believe in snowy christmas. And i'm waiting.
I’m well convinced that if we do not take major steps in this situation we might find ourselves in a much more complicated world than now.
I hope that actions from governments will take place soon and programmes of environmental care will be introduced.
It would be marvellous if Polish government put more awareness to the issues of climate change in the future.
I think that it is technically possible to build a nuclear power plant by 2030 but I’m not sure if polish politicians are able to even propose plans for this idea by coming to any kind of agreement. I do remember times with snowy Christmas and I would love to see them again. It’s pity that there is a high chance than younger generations won’t have chance to feel the joy of snowy winter.
I believe that our climate is changing and I think that it will shift even more in the future. We can experience it every day when we are going outside or during watching news in TV for example about current situation in the USA with fires, changing seasons, ice melting. People need to realise that we have to care about our planet or our children won't have where to live.

2030 is too early for Poland but I know that there are plans on building one but it will probably start around 40s.

Every year I notice that there is less and less snow in the winter. I remember beautiful times when I was a kid and on Christmas, there was a lot of snow outside. I built many snowmen with my sister. Now there is no snow until Easter so now we can build rabbits from snow. New generations will need to travel in the mountains to see a real amount of snow.
1. Of course I believe in climate change. Besides, it is not a matter of faith - it can be seen, for example, as our air in Warsaw is polluted with smog. The problem is global and all organizations are trying to fight it, for example by using renewable energy.
2. No, there is no chance to create a nuclear power plant in Poland before 2030. We have 2020, it will be soon 2021. So far there are no plans. The construction of such a power plant takes several years, so there is no real chance of it being built.
3. Yes, I was born before 2020, in 1996 to be exact, but I don't remember the snowy Christmas season as I was a child. As for the second question - I doubt that the next generation will have a chance to see white Christmas. Well, unless not in Poland.
I'm under influence of quite common opinion recently that climate change is indeed a real thing but the consequences are not worth the price of repairing it.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I think this kind of question should be aimed to expert, I'm definitely not one :) If they would propose it, I happily accept it.

Oh yes, I often visit memories of cold, snowy winters and snow castle building competition in front of my family house :) As I've already mentioned - there are group of experts who disagree it's worth to fix current climate change. In the end, if someone enjoys snow, there are still mountain area to enjoy it. I really don't need it in city center of Warsaw now. Good memories, but I would let stay just as memories
Honestly, I would prefer climate change to be a lie, but unfortunately I am for that something like this is exists and is getting closer to us. Apart from the environmental problem, climate change can be problematic for humanity. I mean new germs, bacteria that are frozen in glaciers and over time it will have a negative effect on us. Although, on the other hand, nature regulates everything itself, so maybe it just has to be. Balance.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I don't think it will. The current government is not very progressive and people are afraid of new things. Currently we have a problem with the 5G network, so nuclear power plants can be even more difficult. Unfortunately, through history like Chernobyl, people are prejudiced. I understand this, but each post carries sacrifices. This is life. If we want to move forward, we always have to sacrifice something.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
Yes, I remember snow holidays. I loved it. It gave the atmosphere of Christmas, especially when there was so much snow that it was hard to walk. Lots of fun.
I hope that children who are born will have a chance to see the snow, it should always be like that. I wish it would not change. However, considering the current situation, there may be small chance for this. Recent years do not give us this.
...I think cold winters are great ... :)
Climate change isn't a matter of beliefs it is a matter of fact. You can't believe in facts. What isn't undertermined is if human development is affecting it or not.
2. Do you think it is possible for Poland to create the nuclear power plant before 2030?
I think it is possible, but i don't know if deadline isn't too close. I want to believe that Poland will get this nuclear power plant by 2030.
3. If you were born prior to 2000, do you remember snowy Christmas? Do you think people far younger than us will get a chance at seeing it?
I remember snowy Chrimstas yes, but to be honest I preffer it the way it looks now. I mean that snow was always a problem. I personally think that it is still possible to Chrismtas to be snowy again but the weather is not in our favor.
