The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the amount of typical carbon dioxide

emissions

per capita released in four separate countries in a 40-year period from 1967 to 2007.

Overall

, the levels of average CO2

emissions

per capita in the United Kingdom fell slightly;

therefore

, the figure for Sweden changed more dramatically during

this

period.

However

, CO2

emissions

by individuals in Italy and Portugal showed a rise. Carbon dioxide

emissions

in the United Kingdom and Sweden decreased during the same period. The United Kingdom has a smoothly dropping trend from less than 11 metric

tonnes

in 1967 to approximately 9 metric

tonnes

in 2007.

a little increase in 1977, the amount of carbon dioxide

emissions

in Sweden decreased from 8.5 to less than 6 metric

tonnes

per head. In the other two countries, there were significant increases in the CO2 emitted by Italians and Portuguese over the 40 years.

While

the amount created by Italians grew from nearly 4.5 to more than 7.5 metric

tonnes

over these 40 years, Portuguese per capita output increased almost fivefold, reaching approximately 5.5 metric

tonnes

in 2007.
