The graph shows average carbon dioxide (co2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007
The graph illustrates the average amount of
carbon
dioxide
(CO2) discharged per person
in the UK, Sweden
, Italy, and Portugal from 1967 to 2007.
Overall
, people in the UK and Sweden
had a downward trend
in carbon
dioxide
(CO2) emissions
, while
the average carbon
dioxide
CO2 emissions
in Italy and Portugal showed the opposite trend
over the past four decades.
In detail, it can be seen that the average carbon
dioxide
(CO2) emission
in the UK remained constant during the first 10 years, representing almost 11 metric tonnes
per person
, and gradually dropped down to around 7 metric tonnes
per person
in the year 2007. In the meantime, the increased trend
in carbon
dioxide
(CO2) discharge of people in Sweden
, showing the peak emission
volume at over 10 metric tonnes
per person
, stopped in 1977. After that, the average carbon
dioxide
(CO2) emission
declined sharply in the following year and eventually fell half below its peak.
On the contrary
, the upward trend
in the average carbon
dioxide
CO2 emissions
in Italy overtook the emission
rate in Sweden
after the year 1987. In 1997, it reached approximately 7.5 metric tonnes
per person
and remain the same afterwards. In Portugal, the average carbon
dioxide
CO2 emissions
first started lower than 2 metric tonnes
per person
. In 2007, it dramatically increased until hit the same amount of co2 discharge in Sweden
