Summary 

           This article talks about the concern of scientists they worried about climate change that cause  melting of the huge west Antarctic ice sheets.That means that in the coming centuries, global sea levels will rise and the result of that problem it will appear in the coming years that the see levels will rise to higher elevation. Joughin scientist  says  that Sheets is unstable and it’s called  a marine ice sheet means that sheet be on the ocean floor not on land above sea level .That means the world will destroy by the ice sheet in just over a couple hundred years . In fact the scientists looking for solution that help to prevent that problem.

Commentary:

            This article scared me i don't realize that we are in the edge of danger. The main problems are the melting. Ice sheet that coming from west Antarctic not only the disintegration of the ice. The outcome of the melting sheets is raising the global see level from four to twelve.          

           The problem right now that the ice sheets or disintegration it will create a vacuum of ice that the other sheets of ice will flow more than before. That has enough ice to increase levels by about 10 feet. The Greenfieldboyce reports that is a huge increase more than the UN expert panel noted last year.           

            Although the people have been speculating that the west Antarctica sheets is unstable since 1910, they do not find mountains or large hills along the way that could prevent the glaciers come. Also, this system is classified as a chain reaction that is unstoppable .This is a global problem and we have to work seriously with it. All countries in the world should collaborate together and find a solution stop that problem. I felt the world will disappears in over centuries by floods. This remind me of the end of Noah .
