The graph below shows average carbon dioxide emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweeden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparison where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the

amount

of

carbon

dioxide

emissions per person in four European countries over a forty-year period.

Overall

, in 1967, the United Kingdom was the largest producer of

carbon

dioxide

,

whereas

Portugal emitted the lowest

amount

of

carbon

dioxide

in the same year. In 1987, average

carbon

dioxide

emissions in Italy exceeded those of

Sweden

.

Moreover

, in 2007, The figure for generated

carbon

dioxide

in

Sweden

was equal to that of Portugal. In the year 1967, the UK emitted the highest

amount

of

carbon

dioxide

with nearly 11

tonnes

.

However

, Portugal produced the lowest

carbon

dioxide

with approximately 1

tonnes

.

Additionally

, in 2007, the

amount

of

carbon

dioxide

emissions in

Sweden

was as much as those in Portugal, at well under 6

tonnes

. From 1967 to 2007, there was a slight decline in generating

carbon

dioxide

of roughly 2

tonnes

in the UK. It is worth mentioning that, between 1967 and 1977, the figure for

Sweden

experienced a minimal rise from well over 8

tonnes

to just over 10

tonnes

followed by a significant decline of approximately 4

tonnes

until 2007.
