The graph below shows average carbon dioxide emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. Summarise the information by selcting and reporting the main features.
The line graph shows the per capita
carbon
dioxide
pollution
of Great Britain, Sweden, Italy and Portugal from 1967 to 2007. It is notable that emissions in the UK are notoriously high compared to other countries.
In contrast
, Portugal's
pollution
numbers are low, but the amount of
pollution
is increasing year by year. In terms of the average of
carbon
dioxide
, Italy increased sharply, reaching 4.2 metric
tons
in 1967, 6.2 metric
tons
in 1977, 6.5 metric
tons
in 1987, and nearly 8 metric
tons
from 1997 to 2007, and
this
level remained stable.
Then
Portugal's
pollution
numbers increased over the years.
In addition
, the amount of
carbon
dioxide
between Portugal and Italy was stable at 2 metric
tons
. In 1967, the United Kingdom was the most polluted, at about 11 metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
, but emissions in the UK fell slightly year-on-year, to about 10.7 metric
tons
in the first decade and 10 metric
tons
. The second decade was the most polluted, with 9 metric
tons
in 1997 and 8.5 metric
tons
in 2007.
