The station will contain exhibitions and information showing the impact of coal. One third of CO2 pollution comes from coal, making it the single biggest cause of climate change. Stopping climate change means quitting coal.Poland uses coal for 93% of its electricity production, more than double the world’s average, and is a major contributor to global warming. Poland is one of the top 20 states for CO2 emissions. The shoot includes images of the Patnów coal fired power station near Konin and pollution effects in the surrounding area.
