The graph below shows average carbon dioxide emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.
The line graph illustrates the rate of carbon dioxide
emissions
by each person in four different counties in a 40-year period
. The units are measured in metric tonnes
.
At the onset, it is clear that
the average carbon dioxide emissions
in the UK and Sweden decreased over the period
, while
in Italy and Portugal, it had an upward trend. The highest emissions
were in the United Kingdom.
Regarding the UK, it had a steady decline at the beginning of the period
with just over 10 metric tonnes
until it reached 8 metric tonnes
in the last
year of the period
. Likewise
, by 1977, the emissions
in Sweden went up from almost 9 to over 10 metric tonnes
, before oscillating until the end of the period
with roughly 5 metric tonnes
of emissions
per person.
On the other hand
, the CO2 emissions
in Itlay,
started at around 4 metric Remove the comma
apply
tonnes
in 1967 before climbing slightly to over 6 metric tonnes
ten years later after which it palpitated in 2007 at nearly 8 metric tonnes
. In the case of Portugal, it had the lowest emissions
throughout with only 1 metric tonne in 1969, before rising gradually until it reached approximately 5 metric tonnes
in the final year.Submitted by s_syedy on
