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 illustrates the average carbon dioxide

emissions

per person in 4 different countries (the United

Kingdom

, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal) over the period of 40 years from 1967 to 2007. Units are measured in metric

tonnes

.

Overall

, It can be seen that the CO2

emissions

for both the United

Kingdom

and Sweden decreased over the years,

while

Italy and Portugal increased.

Also

, during the whole period, the United

Kingdom

had the highest record. Regarding to United

Kingdom

's CO2

emissions

, they stood at 11

tonnes

and decreased constantly before reaching around 9

tonnes

in the final year.

Likewise

, Sweden was about 9

tonnes

in the beginning and reached a peak of more than 10

tonnes

in 1967 before falling significantly to approximately 6

tonnes

in 2007.

On the contrary

, Italy had around 4

tonnes

of CO2

emissions

in 1967 and it rose until it reached 8

tonnes

in the

last

year.

Similarly

, Portugal started at 1 tonne and

then

increased to nearly 6

tonnes

at the end

of the period.
