The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (Co2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

Firstly

the line graph above depicts how much Co2 was emitted per person in three European nations: Italy, Portugal,

Sweden

and plus The United Kingdom from the period 1967 to 2007, in average metric

tonnes

.

According to

the line graph, Portugal presented the lowest emission in 1967, just over 1,7 metric

tonnes

compared to other countries. After that, Portugal's figure constantly climbed, reaching a plateau from 1997 until 2007. The carbon dioxide emissions remained stable at just over 4 metric

tonnes

.

Sweden

,

however

, was the only country that sharply decreased from 1977 to 1987, reducing its emissions of dioxide carbon from just over 8 to 6 metric

tonnes

.

In addition

, from 1967 to 1977 Portugal, Italy and

Sweden

sharply increased except for the United Kingdom.

Moreover

, Italy and Portugal's figures presented similar behaviour during the 40-year period. In conclusion, The United Kingdom and

Sweden

reduced their carbon dioxide emissions during the period of the survey

whereas

Italy and Portugal had a significant climb and the plateau simultaneously.
