The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevants.
The line graph compares the average
carbon
emissions per capita in four European countries namely the United
Kingdom
,
Sweden
, Italy, and Portugal between 1967 and 2007, measured in metric tonnes.
Overall
, the United
Kingdom
had the highest statistic from time to time
although
it gradually declined.
In contrast
, Portugal had the lowest radiation but dramatically rose in four decades. The United
Kingdom
initially
reported approximately 11
million
metric tonnes of
carbon
releases in 1967.
However
, starting from 1987, the figure consistently decreased to under 10
million
and landed at around 9
million
by the end of the reporting period. Other than the United
Kingdom
,
Sweden
also
had a diminishing trend with the exception of a spike in 1977 which reached beyond 10
million
.
Nevertheless
,
Sweden
's emissions continued to fall until below 6
million
in 2007.
On the other hand
, Italy's
carbon
pollution moderately increased from age to age. It started lower than
Sweden
's at barely above 4
million
in 1967 but ended up higher in a higher number at almost 8
million
in 40 years.
Lastly
, Portugal with the lowest releases in all years ironically had the highest jump. It released under 2
million
carbon
dioxide discharges by the beginning of the period but managed to triple the number in four decades, reaching the same point as
Sweden
in 2007.
