While the UK and Sweden experienced a decline in emissions, Italy and Portugal saw significant increases over the 40-year period. By 2007, Italy's emissions doubled to nearly 8 metric tonnes, and Portugal's rose to approximately 5 metric tonnes.

The given line chart illustrates the average amount of CO2 emitted in 4 differents nations,

namely The United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal during a forty-year period from
1067 to 2007.

In general, the data saw the highest amount of CO2 emissions was the United Kingdom
while the lowest number was Portugal. Another striking feature is that there was an
upward trend of Italy and Portugal while a downward trend was experienced in the two
remaining nations.

In 1967, the data of the UK was about 11 mt, ranking the highest, 2 mt higher than the
second-placed Sweden. The numbers of Italy and Portugal were the lowest, respectively 4
mt and 1 mt. 10 years later, the CO2 emissions of Sweden peak at more than 10 mt tonnes
and collapsed gradualy in the next years, at under 6 metric tonnes in 2007. Meanwhile,
the figure of the UK experienced an reduction after 1967, at about 9 metric tonnes in
2007.

In contrast, the number of CO2 emitted in Italy and Portugal increased significantly. After
40 years, this number in Italy doubled from 4 metrics tonnes to nearly 8 metric tonnes. In
Portugal, the CO2 emission per person was 5 times highers with 1 metric tonnes in 1967
and approxiamately 5 metric tonnes in 2007.
