You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevants.

The graph illustrates the mean carbon dioxide
emissions
per individual in four countries, namely the UK, Sweden
, Portugal and Italy from 1967 to 2007, a 40-year period.
In detail, 1967 witnessed an average of about 11 metric tonnes
of CO2 emissions
per person in the UK, which was the highest ever compared to the other countries at any given point. Followed by gradual declines until 2007, which was accounted for almost 9 metric tonnes
of CO2 emissions
per capita. Sweden
, on the other hand
, started at an average of 8.5 metric tonnes
in 1967. Then
, it rose sharply by the end of the first decade
exceeding 10 metric tonnes
for each Swedish.
Furthermore
, Portugal started with subtle emissions
at only 1 metric tonne individually in 1967. However
, the numbers soared dramatically to the end of 1997 at 5 metric tonnes
, which is 5-fold surprisingly. In the last
decade
, they managed to level off their numbers to intersect with Sweden
at 5.25 metric tonnes
CO2 emissions
for each person, supposedly the least possible average in 2007. While
Italy showed substantial increases in CO2 emissions
from about 4.5 to 6.2 metric tonnes
in the first decade
, they controlled the pace through the remaining period and coincided with Sweden
's averages in the middle of the third decade
, at almost 6.8 CO2 metric tonnes
, as well as
finished at around 7.5 metric tonnes
CO2 emissions
per person.
Overall
, while
the highest emissions
throughout the period were in the UK, the lowest emissions
were in Portugal. Besides
, Sweden
saw a fluctuation but finished with the least emissions
as well.Submitted by besoyam on
