Note: See Attachment of Full Article

Questions for Comprehension

What causes sea level rise?
Why do ice sheets melt at unprecedented rate?
What are the effects of too much melting of ice?
What countries are very much affected by sea level rise?

B. Presenting Examples/Instances of New Lesson

Concepts for Discussion

1. Melting of ice in Antarctic causes sea level rise.

2. Sea level rises because ice sheets melt faster.

How many clauses are found in each sentence?

 C. Discussing New Concepts
Grammar Points

Sentence has four structures.

Each structure is defined by the use of independent, dependent clauses, conjunctions

and subordinators.

Sentences are structured as:

Simple Compound
Complex Compound-Complex

D. Practice Skill 1
Study the following Simple Sentences. Find out the subject and predicate.

1. Ice sheets are melting.

2. Greenland and Antarctic’s ice melt six times faster.
3. Sea level-rise affects US and parts of Shanghai.

E. Practice Skill 2
Study the following Compound Sentences. Find out the clauses and connectors.

1. Sea level rises because Greenland’s and Antarctic ice melts six times faster.
2. Scientists studied this situation and findings were published in online journals.

F. Developing Mastery
A. Generalizing Question
What is the difference between simple and compound sentences?

B. Summary of Lesson
Simple sentences are made up of one independent clauses. It is usually composed of simple subject and
predicate.

Compound sentences are two independent clauses connected by conjunctions like because and fanboys.

G. Evaluating Learning
Identify the structure of each sentence.

1. Researchers observe how ice sheets melt.

2. Ice melts so fast because climate has been changing.
3. New York and Shanghai may displace 187 million people by 2100.
4. Sea level rise has profound consequence to humanity.
5. Greenland ice can cover three times of Texas and sea level can dismantle 656,000 square miles of its
land area.

H. Additional Activities
Assignment
Download at least two climate change-related photos and write a caption with either simple or compound
sentence. Photo credits should be tagged after each sentence.

It's Official: Sea Level Rise Could Soon Displace Up to 187 Million People

AYLIN WOODWARD, BUSINESS INSIDER

22 MAY 2019
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting. Scientists have known this for years, but they're only now realising how
quickly that melting is happening.

Greenland's ice is melting six times faster now than it was four decades ago; the ice sheet is sloughing off an average of 286 billion
tons of ice per year.

In the 1980s, Antarctica lost 40 billion tons of ice annually. In the last decade, that number jumped to an average of 252 billion tons
per year.

A new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports that the sea-level rise from this
accelerated melting could have "have profound consequences for humanity."

The researchers found that, in the worst-case scenario – in which the planet heats up by 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit)
in the next 80 years – melted ice could raise sea levels worldwide could by more than 6.5 feet.

The water would swamp major coastal cities like New York and Shanghai, displacing up to 187 million people by 2100, the authors
reported.

Underestimating sea-level rise

Roughly 1.7 million square kilometers (656,000 square miles) in size, the Greenland ice sheet covers an area almost three times
that of Texas. Together with Antarctica's ice sheet, it contains more than 99 percent of the world's fresh water, according to the
National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Most of that water is frozen in masses of ice and snow that can be up to 10,000 feet (3 kilometers) thick. But as human activity
sends more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the oceans absorb 93 percent excess heat those gases trap.

The warmer air and water is leading ice sheets to melt at unprecedented rates.

In 2013, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that sea levels would rise by up to 38.5 inches
– just over 3 feet (97 centimeters) – by 2100 if carbon emissions continue to rise unabated.

The predictions in this new study are more than double the UN's 2013 estimate.

While the chances of a worst-case scenario coming to pass are only estimated at around 5 percent, the study authors still reported
it was "plausible" that global oceans would indeed rise 6.5 feet by the year 2100.

Higher sea levels could create 187 million climate refugees

If sea levels did really rise by 6.5 feet, that could result in a loss of 691,120 square miles (1.8 million square kilometers) of land, the
authors of the new report said.

That's an area larger than France, Germany, Spain, and the UK combined.

In that case, major coastal cities like London, New York, and Shanghai would be threatened by extreme flooding. Small Pacific
island nations like Vanuatu would be rendered uninhabitable or disappear entirely.

The study authors also said a lot of the lost land would be in "critical regions of food production" – places like the Nile River delta in
Africa, according to the BBC.

In total, up to 2.5 percent of the world's current population could be displaced from their homes, the researchers added.

"To put this into perspective, the Syrian refugee crisis resulted in about a million refugees coming into Europe," lead author of the
new study Jonathan Bamber told the BBC.

"That is about 200 times smaller than the number of people who would be displaced in a 2-meter [6.5-foot] sea-level rise."

Bamber told CNN that the displacement of that many people around the world would "likely result in serious social upheaval."

"It really is pretty grim," he added.
