The graph shows average carbon dioxide (co2) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007
The graph illustrates the average amount of
carbon
dioxide
(CO2) discharged per
person
in the UK,
Sweden
, Italy, and Portugal from 1967 to 2007.
Overall
, people in the UK and
Sweden
had a downward
trend
in
carbon
dioxide
(CO2)
emissions
,
while
the average
carbon
dioxide
CO2
emissions
in Italy and Portugal showed the opposite
trend
over the past four decades. In detail, it can be seen that the average
carbon
dioxide
(CO2)
emission
in the UK remained constant during the first 10 years, representing almost 11 metric
tonnes
per
person
, and gradually dropped down to around 7 metric
tonnes
per
person
in the year 2007. In the meantime, the increased
trend
in
carbon
dioxide
(CO2) discharge of people in
Sweden
, showing the peak
emission
volume at over 10 metric
tonnes
per
person
, stopped in 1977. After that, the average
carbon
dioxide
(CO2)
emission
declined sharply in the following year and eventually fell half below its peak.
On the contrary
, the upward
trend
in the average
carbon
dioxide
CO2
emissions
in Italy overtook the
emission
rate in
Sweden
after the year 1987. In 1997, it reached approximately 7.5 metric
tonnes
per
person
and remain the same afterwards. In Portugal, the average
carbon
dioxide
CO2
emissions
first started lower than 2 metric
tonnes
per
person
. In 2007, it dramatically increased until hit the same amount of co2 discharge in
Sweden
.
