The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (Co2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.

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.
