The graph below shows the average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.
The chart illustrates the average amount of carbon dioxide emitted per person over a period of 40 years in four different countries.
It is clear that
the average emissions
generated by each individual in the United Kingdom are more than others. However
the lowest amount is related to people in Portugal, but the figure experienced a significant rise during the period.
In 1967, around 11 metric tonnes
of emissions
were produced per person in the United Kingdom. Each person in Sweden was also
responsible for just under 9 tonnes
, while
the figures for Italy and Portugal were around 4.5 and 1.5 tonnes
, respectively.
The CO2 emissions
from the people living in Portugal jumped to just over five metric tonnes
in 1997 and then
leveled
off by 2007. In Italy, the figure increased gradually, until it leapfrogged the figure relevant to Sweden in about 1990. Change the spelling
