The UN climate report estimates that without deep cuts to man-made emissions, at least 30% of the northern hemisphere’s surface permafrost could melt by the end of the century. Given this situation of imminent global exodus of billions of people displaced by rising seas, nation-states need to rethink their carbon footprint for political concerns, if not for environmental ones.

Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the given passage ?
A
Nation-states do not have environmental concerns.
B
Nation-states are responsible for providing fresh water to billions of people.
C
Billions of people are responsible for man-made emissions.
D
Billions of people are affected by melting glaciers.
