UK's contributions were decreasing.

Overall

, if week looks at the very first result of monitoring, which is in 1976, Portugal was the winner among the other four countries by becoming the least contributor of carbon dioxide. Portugal only had 2 metric

tonnes

and followed by Italy with less than 6 metric

tonnes

. The United Kingdom and

Sweden

are the top two among the other two with more than 8 metric

tonnes

. Over the next 20 years, an unprecedented situation happened for the amount of gas monitored in the UK and

Sweden

. Both countries showed they are able to decline the number to approximately 2 metric

tonnes

.

On the other hand

, worse conditions happened in Portugal and Italy. Looking at the data provided, Portugal and Italy had similar conditions from 1967 to 2007 where emissions were rising by almost 2 metric

tonnes

.

However

,

Sweden

and the UK showed ,unlike circumstances with a shrinking quantity of carbon dioxide.
