The graph below shows the differences in wheat exports over three different areas.
The bar graph illustrates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per person in four different countries from 1967 to 2007.
Overall
, carbon dioxide emissions
in Italy and Portugal followed an upward trend, whereas
Sweden and the UK followed a downward trend.
In 1967, over 8 metric tonnes
of carbon dioxide was emitted in Sweden, after which emissions
increased and reached a high of above 10 metric tonnes
in 1977 before falling back to a low of under 6 metric tonnes
in 2007. In the UK, there was a gradual decrease from around 11 metric tonnes
in 1967 to about 9 metric tonnes
in 2007.
Turning to Italy and Portugal, only 1 metric tonne of CO2 was emitted in Portugal (1967), and there was a considerable rise of around 5 metric tonnes
in 2007. The average CO2 emissions
were almost 4 metric tonnes
in Italy in 1967, which was followed by a significant rise of above 7 metric tonnes
in 2007. It is noticeable that the amount of CO2 emissions
was the same in Sweden and Portugal in 2007.Submitted by moxinurabjalilova on
