The given line graph compares dates related to the amount of carbon dioxide emissions were used by individuals in four different areas of the world over four year decades between 1967 and 2007.
Overall, it can be observed that CO2 emissions in Italy and Portugal increased considerably while the United Kingdom and Sweden experienced a downward trend during the given period, only differing in the rates of change.
At the beginning of the period, the emission in Portugal was approximately one metric tonne and it increased steadily to five metric tonnes in 1997. Afterwards, it slowing down over the last decade. Likewise, the average carbon dioxide emitted by a person in Italy rose moderately from four metric tonnes to 9 metric tonnes during the thirty years after which it remained constant until 2007.
On the other hand, carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden stood at just above eight metric tonnes in 1967 and the figure grew steadily reaching the peak of just over ten metric tonnes in 1977. Following this, the figure witnessed a dramatic decrease, hitting the low of just beneath six metric tonnes in 2007. Simultaneously, The United Kingdom presented the highest figure of emission during the given period. However, it went down to nearly 7 tons from 11 tons for the whole year.
