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.

The line graph provides information on how much

carbon

dioxide was emitted by each person on average residing in the UK, Sweden, Italy and Portugal from 1967 to 2007.

Overall

,

while

per-capita

carbon

emission went down in the UK and Sweden, it went up in Italy and Portugal, over the 40

years

. The United Kingdom was recorded to be the highest per-capita emitter of

carbon

in the year 1967 at almost 11 metric

tonnes

. Despite the omission decreasing gradually and reaching almost 9 metric

tonnes

; the country was noted to be the highest CO2 emitter among the other three countries. Sweden's emissions per person rose from 9 metric

tonnes

in 1967 to a peak of 10.5 metric

tonnes

in 10

years

. They

then

significantly decreased to 7 metric

tonnes

in 1987, and less than 6 metric

tonnes

in the next 20

years

. The average emission of

carbon

that each person in Italy was responsible for; climbed gradually from 4.5 metric

tonnes

to 8 metric

tonnes

between 1967 to 2007.

Although

Portugal was the lowest CO2 emitting country, the Portuguese contributed towards a steady increase in producing CO2. It was held accountable for 1.5 metric

tonnes

of emissions in 1967 but reached 5.5 metric

tonnes

over these 40

years
