The given line graph depicts data on the changes in the amounts of CO2 a person emitted on average in 4 countries (the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal) between 1967 and 2007.
According to the line graph, in the United Kingdom the CO2 emissions reached a plateau at about 11 metric tonnes from 1967 until 1977. Subsequently, the figure showed a downward trend and eventually touched the lowest point at just under 9 metric tonnes in 2007. As regards Sweden, the figure for average CO2 emissions per person increased between 1967 and 1977, when it peaked at just over 10 metric tonnes. Then it steeply decreased until 1987, followed by a gradul decline until 2007.
With regard to the remaining countries, they showed different patterns from the aforementioned ones. In 1967, in Italy the CO2 emissions were just above 4 metric tonnes, whereas in Portugal the amounts were lower, at roughly 1. 2 metric tonnes. The figures for both countries rose progressively over the following period. From 1997 the amounts of CO2 emitted in Italy levelled off at just below 8 metric tonnes, while the ones emitted in Portugal still increased slightly, touching the highest point at approximately 5 metric tonnes in 2007.
Overall, it is clear that the United Kingdom produced the largest amounts of gas throughout the period in question, as opposed to Portugal, where a person emitted on average the least amounts of CO2.
