The line graph shows the typical quantity of carbon dioxide emitted by a person in four distinct

nations over a forty-year period beginning in 1967 and ending in 2007.

Overall, what stands out from the graph is that the emissions of carbon dioxide in Italy and Portugal
underwent a significant increase, while those figures for the United Kingdom and Sweden
plummeted swiftly over the period shown.

In the first ten years, the amount of CO2 emitted in the UK remain unchanged at approximately 11
metric tonnes. A contrasting pattern was seen for the remaining nations, whose statistics
significantly increased to well over 6 metric tonnes in Italy, 2 in Portugal, and 10 in Sweden by 1977,
with Sweden's figure reaching its greatest peak.

From 1977 onwards, the emissions of CO2 saw a significant decrease, bottoming at nearly 9 and 5
metric tonnes in the UK and Sweden, respectively. By contrast, those figures for Italy and Portugal
continued its upward trend, hitting their highest points at about ̣ 9 and 5 metric tonnes in 1997
before levelling of those levels in the last ten years

Looking at the details, regarding the UK, starting at 11 metric tones in 1967, then there was a
stabilize in the amount of CO2 emissions in the UK over the first ten years, while those figures in
Sweden witnessed an dramatic increase to nearly 11 metric tonnes. Afterward, the average
emissions in both United Kingdom and Sweden continuously fell, dropping to 9 and 5 metric tones at
the end of the period.

Conversely, both Italy’s and Portugal’s carbon dioxide emissions per person increased between 1967
and 2007. Italy’s CO2 emissions nearly doubled, starting at just above 4 metric tonnes in 1967 and
ending at almost 8 metric tonnes four decades later. Portugal’s CO2 emissions, however, nearly
quadrupled. The amount of carbon dioxide emissions in 1967 was just about 1 metric tones. But in
2007, it reached 5.5 metric tones.
