| 1. How much is air temperature predicted to rise in Poland? | Correct | Temperature rise in the future, IPCC reference, 2–4°C rise until the end of the century, factors that influence temperature rise and information about projection uncertainties. | 7 |
| Incorrect | Outdated information, inaccurate temperature values (should be 1–1.5°C until 2050, not 2.5°C), no information about regional variability. |
| 2. Describe with proper references the past changes of air temperature in Poland. | Correct | General information correct (such as increasing temperature trends, especially in winter season), IPCC fifth report correct. | 3 |
| Incorrect | Mixed national reports, fake years and references, some data are highly inaccurate (temperature trend should be 0.29°C/10 years, not 0.17°C/10 years), fake reference years. |
| 3. Describe the pattern of precipitation in Poland with proper references and links to the sources of information. | Correct | General pattern correct, IPCC fifth report correct. | 7 |
| Incorrect | Incorrect precipitation totals, incorrect references, some inaccurate data (precipitation totals should be 500–1500 mm, not 400–1000 mm). |
| 4. Explain how snow precipitation in Poland changed over time with references to published scientific papers. | Correct | Correct real names of scientists. | 2 |
| Incorrect | Off topic – the answer is focused on snow cover, not snow precipitation, incorrect years and journals in references, varied inaccurate ranges of changes, overgeneralization. |
| 5. Explain the changes of occurrence of high-level clouds over Poland with references to scientific papers. | Correct | Correct cloud genres, real scientists connected with cloudiness research quoted, the names of real journals mentioned. | 1 |
| Incorrect | Publication titles and teams are fake, information about changes in high-level clouds are mostly incorrect and without numerical values, two facts are mutually exclusive (decreasing trend in summer and in winter). |
| 6. Explain the reason for changes in sunshine duration in Poland with references to real scientific papers | Correct | Correct factors influencing sunshine duration. | 2 |
| Incorrect | Important scientists omitted, information about trends incorrect, incomplete information about factors that influence this meteorological element, no numerical values given. |
| 7. Describe temporal and spatial variation of wind speed in Poland with references. | Correct | Real scientists and journals, trends mostly correct. | 4 |
| Incorrect | Fake publications, incorrect information about the correlation with NAO index, incomplete information about spatial distribution, no numerical values given. |
| 8. How are extreme weather events going to change in Poland in the future? Give examples with references. | Correct | Improved accuracy of bibliography, mostly correct general trends and patterns of changes. | 5 |
| Incorrect | Some incomplete and inaccurate information about the future of extreme events, for example, a 30% increase in heatwave days without any additional information. |
