The line chart illustrates the average amount of carbon dioxide emissions per person in the four different European countries over the period of 40 years.
Overall, it is clear that amount of CO2 emissions in the UK and Sweden experienced downward trend, while that of Italy and Portugal increased steadily over the entire periods. However, the United Kingdom accounted for the highest amount of emissions between all countries.
With regard to the more contaminating countries, in 1967, the highest amount of CO2 saw in the UK with roughly 11 tones, while that of Sweden was lower at just over 8 tones. From this year until 1977, the amount of emissions in Sweden peaked at nearly 10 tones, then decreased significantly to just under 6 tones in 2007. The figure for UK saw a gradual fall of roughly 3 tones until 2007.
In the two other countries charts, in 1967, the amount of CO2 emissions in Italy stood at 4 tones, whereas that of Portugal was the lowest at approximately 1 tones. From this year onwards, these figures rose markedly to just under 8 and 6, respectively. In addition, in 1987, the amount of C02 emissions in Italy exceeded that of Sweden and became the second highest amount of emissions in 2007.
