The line graph illustrates how much CO2 a person releases in 4 countries between 1967 and 2007.

Overall, it is clear that the UK had the highest CO2 emissions during that time. Furthermore, the amount
of CO2 released in Sweden and the UK experienced forward trends, while in the remaining countries,
that amount witnessed a dramatic decrease.

As can be seen on the chart, firstly, the figure for CO2 released in the UK was on top at around 11 metric
tonnes. This is followed closely by Sweden, Italy, and Portugal, with approximately 8, 4, and 1 metric
tonnes, respectively. From 1967 to 1977, the level of CO2 emissions in Sweden, Italy, and Portugal had
upward trends and increased gradually by around 2 metric tonnes. However, the UK was the only
country with the quantity of CO2 discharge remaining unchanged, just over 10 metric tonnes.

Over the next 15 years, the volume of CO2 emissions in Sweden decreased rapidly to 6 metric tonnes,
while in Italy and Portugal, it rose moderately to around 5 and 8 metric tonnes, respectively. Additionally,
the one in the UK slightly decreased then and still reduced to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. Similarly, in
Sweden, the figure for CO2 discharge underwent a significant fall to just over 5 metric tonnes. In
contrast, Italy and Portugal also had the amount of CO2 released stayed stable compared to 1997.
