A glance at the graph provided reveals the number of CFC emissions produced by four different

countries from 2005 to 2009.

We can see from the graph that CFC emissions have gone down in all countries except India. In
Germany, emissions have been steadily decreasing since 2006, falling from around 850 to just
under 800 metric tons annually. However, the falls in Russia and Japan occurred more suddenly.
Both countries emissions also tended to decrease in 2008. Before this time, Japan had been
producing a fairly constant level of emissions, around 1400 metric tons each year, whereas
emissions from Russia had been gradually increasing until 2008.

Another important feature to note is that emissions in India, by contrast, increased over the same
period. In 2005 India produced just under 1200 metric tons, but by 2009 the emissions in India
spiked, this had increased to over 1500 metric tons. In 2005 India produced fewer emissions than
Japan and Russia, but the graph shows that in 2009 both Russia and India were producing equal
amounts of emissions, just over 1500 metric tons. If these trends continue, the production of
emissions constantly growing, India will surpass Russia in the future.
