The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO,) emissions per person ni the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.
The graph provides information on the average per capita carbon dioxide
emissions
of four countries from 1967 to 2007.
Overall
, it is clear that
while
the UK has the highest average CO2 emissions
, Sweden's output
has fallen over the same period. At the same time, people in Italy and Portugal showed a significant rise in their emissions
levels.
In 1967, UK production led to the highest levels of pollution, resulting in approximately 11 metric tonnes
of CO2 per person..
The next highest emitters were the Swedes, responsible for around 8.5 Replace the punctuation
