The line graph illustrates the average carbon dioxide

emissions per person in different four countries from 1967 to


2007.
Overall, there was a downward trend in the amount of CO2
emissions in the UK and Sweden, while emissions from people
in Italy and Portugal increased considerably. In spite of the
significant reduction, England remains the region with the
highest carbon emissions during 40 years.
The average carbon dioxide in Portugal started at 1.6 mt in
1967 and steadily increased until they reached to 6.2 mt in the
end of period. Meanwhile, Italy’s CO2 emissions stood at
slightly over 4 mt in 1967, they then nearly doubled at almost 8
mt in four decades later.
On the other hand, CO2 emissions per person rose in the
UK and Sweden between 1967 and 2007. England’s average
CO2 emissions higher than Sweden in the first year at around
10,8 mt and 8.6 mt respectively. UK then remained stable and
declined to 8.8 mt in 2007. While in 1977, Sweden continued to
emit a large amount of CO2 up to 10.3 mt, in 2007, the
emissions matched Portugal's average at 5.5 metric tonnes.
