Homework Task Solution

1. Identify and Correct the Plagiarism

a) Where plagiarism occurs:


The plagiarism appears in several parts of the text where ideas, structure, and key information are
taken directly or closely paraphrased from the original sources without proper citation or sufficient
rewording. The definition of climate change is derived from NASA, the causes from the IPCC, the
health impacts from the WHO, and the call for urgent action from UNFCCC documents. The
absence of clear attribution makes the text plagiarized.

b) How to correct the plagiarism:


Plagiarism can be corrected by rephrasing the information in original wording, changing sentence
structure, and clearly citing all original sources used.

2. Identify the Type of Document

Based on the scientific content and the references provided, the text is an informative academic
report or awareness article about climate change. Its purpose is to explain the causes, impacts, and
urgency of climate change using reliable international sources.

3. Non-Plagiarized Version of the Text

Climate change represents a major global challenge and refers to long-term changes in
temperature and weather patterns on Earth. According to the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), these changes are largely driven by human activities that increase
greenhouse gas emissions, leading to a steady rise in the planet’s average temperature.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that the burning of fossil fuels,
deforestation, and industrial activities release gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. These
gases trap heat in the atmosphere, accelerating global warming and contributing to melting
glaciers, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events.

Climate change also poses serious risks to human health. The World Health Organization (WHO)
explains that heatwaves, floods, and storms are becoming more frequent, increasing health risks,
especially for vulnerable populations.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) stresses the importance
of urgent global action. Governments and individuals must cooperate to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and protect the environment and humanity from the consequences of climate change.
