The climate policy of the European Union, concerning the struggle against global warming, concentrates, among others, on the realisation of the objectives of "the energy-climate package 3x20" adopted by the European Council, envisaging a 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, a 20% increase in energy efficiency and a 20% share of energy produced from renewable sources in the overall energy balance by 2020. The commitment to meet these objectives has been underlined with directives aimed at promoting the use of renewable energy sources, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the improvement and extension of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) geologic storage of carbon dioxide and the public support for the actions aiming at environmental protection. The agreed energy-climate package means that EU member states are going to face many challenges, imposing on them the obligation to take a number of measurable steps towards implementation of these directives. On the one hand, the main objectives of the package fit very well into the concept of sustainable development, whilst, on the other, meeting these objectives is very costly and controversial, in particular for countries whose energy is based on conventional sources. What is the essence of the energy-climate package given the climate change theory and within the context of sustainable development? What has been the success of the realisation of the package so far? These are the main research questions in this paper.(original abstract)

W obliczu rosnącej presji społeczności międzynarodowej, zmierzającej do podjęcia radykalnych kroków w celu przeciwdziałania zmianom klimatu oraz zmniejszenia antropopresji środowiska, nie milknie dyskusja dotycząca zasadności założeń mówiących, że to człowiek jest głównym sprawcą owych zmian. Oficjalne stanowisko co do decydującej roli człowieka, przyjęte przez międzynarodowe instytucje zajmujące się wpływem ludzkiej działalności na klimat, jest coraz częściej kwestionowane. Czy za zmiany klimatu odpowiada człowiek? Czy nasza cywilizacja zobowiązana jest do poświęceń w celu ochrony klimatu? Wynik konfrontacji zwolenników i sceptyków tezy o antropogennych przyczynach zmian klimatu jest szczególnie istotny w kontekście niepowodzenia szczytu klimatycznego w Kopenhadze oraz dalszej drogi społeczności międzynarodowej w walce ze zmianami klimatycznymi.

In the face of growing pressure from a global society wishing to take radical steps in order to deal with climate change and reduce environmental anthropopressure, the discussion regarding the legitimacy of the thesis that the main offende of those changes is the human-being does not moderate. The official statement indicating the crucial role that human beings are playing in climate change, taken for granted by international institutions dealing with the human impact on the climate, is increasingly questioned. Are human beings responsible for climate change? Is our civilization obliged to sacrifice in the name of climate protection? The result of the confrontation between supporters and sceptics of the thesis concerning the anthropogenic causes of climate change are important in the context of the COP15 summit failure in Copenhagen and the future struggle by global society against climate change.
