Read the following passage from the Article
But there's one feature of island life that gives these small nations an opportunity
to make a big difference. Most of the things that people on islands buy are
delivered by ships. So the environmental impact of these seafaring vessels is
enormous. In fact, experts say cargo ships are responsible for almost 3 percent of
the world's carbon emissions. That's about the same amount attributed to the
entire country of Germany!
Why did the author include this information?
A
To describe a variety of creative strategies for reducing carbon emissions in an effort to
slow or reverse climate change
B
To inform readers that the Pacific Islands are responsible for producing almost 3
percent of the world's carbon emissions
c
To emphasize the dangerous environmental impact of climate change caused by carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions
D
To explain why the Pacific Island countries developed a plan for reducing carbon
emissions from cargo ships rather than emissions from other sources
