The graph below shows average carbon dioxide emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweeden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparison where relevant.
The line graph illustrates the amount of carbon dioxide produced per person in (United
Kingdom
, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal) over 26
years
, from 1967 to 2007. Units are measured in metric
tonnes
.
Overall
, there was a reduction in the
production
of carbon dioxide in the United
Kingdom
and Sweden over the
period
given,
while
for Italy and Portugal, there was a rise in the same
period
.
It is clear that
during the whole
period
, the United
Kingdom
was the highest producer of CO2 among other countries. With regards to the amount of CO2 produced, it began at around 11 metric
tonnes
for the United
Kingdom
in 1967 and decreased slightly over 40
years
to approach 9 metric
tonnes
in 2007.
Similarly
, Sweden produced 9 metric
tonnes
of CO2 in 1967, and 10
years
later it hit a peak at approximately 10.5 metric
tonnes
of CO2
production
, which dropped rapidly within another 10
years
to end 7 metric
tonnes
in 1987. In the final
years
, there was a slow reduction in
production
, which attained 5 metric
tonnes
at the end
of the
period
.
On the other hand
, Italy started
production
of CO2 emissions at nearly 4 metric
tonnes
in 1967 and increased gradually over the next ten
years
to almost 6 metric
tonnes
. After that, there was a steady change in the remains of the
period
to accomplish just under 8 metric
tonnes
in 2007.
Likewise
, approximately 1 metric tonne of carbon dioxide was produced by Portugal in the first year; after that, the figure increased mildly over 30
years
to stand
the
Change preposition
at the

highest point of around 7 metric
tonnes
in 1997, and in the final
years
, the figure remained constant at nearly 8 metric
tonnes
.
