Climate change, its causes and impacts. Opportunities for mitigation and adaptation

Abstracts

EN

This article reviews the observational evidence of climate change and discusses its mechanisms, impacts, and projections for the future with particular reference to Poland. Discussion with skeptical theses regarding climate change is also presented. Since much of the expected impact of climate change is adverse, effective mitigation and adaptation activities are necessary. This statement is also valid for Poland, even if Poland is not especially adversely affected by global warming.
