The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.

The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.
The chart illustrates carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions
per
person
in four different countries which are the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal from 1697 to 2007.
Overall
, it has been observed that in the UK and Sweden carbon dioxide
emissions
have significantly decreased.
Whereas
emissions
per
person
in Italy and Portugal have gradually increased. At the start of the
period
the UK and Sweden had an excessive amount of
emissions
produced per
person
with around 11 and 9 metric
tonnes
respectively. Italy produced a considerably lower amount of
emissions
per
person
which was 4
tonnes
.
While
Portugal had the lowest output of emission per
person
with under 2
tonnes
. Despite the steady reduction in
emissions
per
person
in the UK were the highest in the given
period
. Sweden’s production of
emissions
per
person
surged to 10 metric
tonnes
in 1977
then
plummet to 7 metric
tonnes
in 1987 after that it steadily reduced to the end of the
period
. Average carbon emission that each
person
in Italy abruptly rose in 1977 and
then
constantly increased. Italy’s
emissions
per
person
had nearly doubled from the beginning at just above 4 metrics in 1967.
While
Portugal at the start of the
period
produced nearly 1.5 metric
tonnes
but in 2007
emissions
had reached 5.5 metric
tonnes
matching Sweden’s average.
