tonnes
.
Overall
, the amount of CO2 in the
UK
and

dropped slightly,
whereas
those in the rest encountered moderate rises. It is

UK
and
Sweden
, the former commenced the period at just shy of 11 metric

tonnes
in the
UK

tonnes
in 2007. Similar changes, but to a greater extent, can be observed in

, despite reaching a peak of above 10 metric
tonnes
in 1977. Turning to the remaining nations, over 4 metric
tonnes
of CO2 was discharged by Italy citizens, with a marked rise to nearly 8 metric
tonnes
after 3 decades, and a final plateau towards the end. The amount of CO2 in Portugal showed a dramatic elevation from almost 1 metric tonne to about 5 metric
tonnes
during
this
period, reaching parity with 2007 's
Sweden
figure. "
