- It was felt that the major polluters had a moral obligation to deliver on the agreements reached some years ago during a similar convention on Climate Change.
- The papers presented indicated that the impacts of current warming are much more severe than previously understood.
- It appears that the planet's ability to adapt to and cope with how it is being treated is fraying.
- For example, the acceleration of sea level rise and ocean warming, and increasing risks of reaching limits to adaptation.
- This is what emerged at a recent conference attended by the largest scientific community on climate science.

Entered answer:
Solution
The passage talks about climate conference findings and polluters' moral obligations.
Link A (3 → 4): Connection word "For example" provides specific instances of the planet's fraying adaptation mentioned in sentence 3.
Link B (4 → 5): Pronoun "This" in sentence 5 refers to the climate impacts and examples described in sentence 4.
Link C (5 → 2): Specific reference - "The papers presented" in sentence 2 elaborates on the conference mentioned in sentence 5.
Link D (2 → 1): Connection flows logically from severe warming impacts to moral obligation of major polluters to act.
Introduction: Sentence 3 is the introducing sentence because it presents the main premise about planetary adaptation challenges.
Conclusion: Sentence 1 is the concluding sentence because it discusses the resulting moral obligation and call to action.
Assembling: Starting with general observation, providing examples, citing source, elaborating findings, concluding with moral implications.
Hence the correct order is 34521
