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 presents the average CO2
emissions
per person
in four European nations from 1967 to 2007.
Overall
, average CO2 emissions
of individuals in the UK and Sweden generally dropped, whereas
emissions
per person
in Italy and Portugal rose significantly. Despite the steady reduction, average emissions
in the UK were the highest in the given period.
Among the selected countries, the CO2 emissions
per person
in the UK were the highest throughout the four decades, yet said emissions
were on the decline. In 1967, the average emissions
per person
were nearly 11 metric tonnes
. But by 2007, that had fallen to roughly 9 metric tonnes
. Somewhat similarly
, the average CO2 emissions
in Sweden were almost 9 metric tonnes
per person
in 1967. The emissions
spiked,however
, to nearly 11 metric tonnes
in 1977 though from there, emissions
continuously fell, dropping to just 5.5 metric tonnes
in 2007.
Conversely
, both Italy's and Portugal's carbon dioxide emissions
per person
increased between 1967 and 2007. Italy's CO2 emissions
nearly doubled, starting at just above 4 metric tonnes
in 1967 and ending at almost 8 metric tonnes
four decades later. Portugal's CO2 emissions
, however
, nearly quadrupled. The per capita average in 1967 was just 1.5 metric tonnes
. But in 2007, the emissions
had reached 5.5 metric tonnes
, matching Sweden's average.Submitted by shakhusmanhaqq on
