One cannot demand the same from Poland as from Germany or France, but one has to demand enough from Poland.

Wide of people on the street. \u003cbr/\u003eMiners in Poland fear for their jobs as experts from some 190 countries meet in Poznan until 12 December to work towards a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol.\u003cbr/\u003eLike the rest of the Eastern European countries, Poland is dependent on coal for its energy needs and fears the climate change plan will curb its economic growth and lead to an increase in energy prices. \u003cbr/\u003eZbigniew Madej, a spokesman for the Ziemowit coalmine in the Polish town of Katowice, said earlier this week that Poland produced 95 precent of its energy from coal and added that without coal the \"the price of Polish electricity would rise 150 percent.\"  \u003cbr/\u003eLike most of the Polish coal industry, Ziemowit mine lies on the southern province of Silesia and is one of the biggest mines in Poland.\u003cbr/\u003eApart from cheap energy, the mine provides several thousand jobs in the region. \u003cbr/\u003eMiners fears for their jobs were echoed by Katowice residents, many of whom have family members employed by the coal industry.  They see job losses as a bigger evil than damage to the climate caused by the coal.\u003cbr/\u003eThe energy source which powered the industrial revolution of the 1800s, coal still provides 40 percent of the world's electricity, but is the most polluting source of energy and one of the largest contributors of carbon emissions, according to environment group, Greenpeace.\u003cbr/\u003eStefan Krug, Head of political representation of Greenpeace in Berlin, said Poland, as an EU member, had to \"implement a turn in its energy policy\" and added that \"Poland should see the Poznan conference as a chance and not as a threat.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMiroslaw Pajor, chief engineer of the Ziemowit mine, said Greenpeace had every right to comment and protest on the use of coal, but added that the protesters were a minority compared to the miners who \"don't protest - we do our work so everybody can have a good life.\" \u003cbr/\u003eFrench President Nicolas Sarkozy is to meet on Saturday with the leaders of nine eastern European countries to try to get an ambitious EU climate deal that would slash carbon emissions by 2020.\u003cbr/\u003eSarkozy is to hold talks with the prime ministers of Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and the Czech Republic.\u003cbr/\u003eThe former communist states oppose the bloc's current plan to cut emissions by 20 percent by 2020 and implement a cap-and-trade program that would impose heavy fees on major polluters such as coal-burning power plants.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Kyoto treaty expires in 2012. UN delegates aim to seal a new deal next December in Copenhagen, Denmark.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
