The graph shows how much carbon dioxide (CO2) was emitted by each people in 4 countries from 1967 to 2000. Overall, while people in the United Kingdom and Sweden released fewer emissions, people in Italy and Portugal releases more CO2. British people were responsible for the largest amount of CO2 produced all the time.
In 1967, each person in the UK produced about 11 tonnes of CO2 emission on average, followed by 8 tonnes in Sweden. In the same year, the amounts of CO2 released by each Italian and Portuguese were 4 and under 2 tonnes, respectively.
In the next 40 years, the average amount of CO2 emission in the UK gradually fell to just over 8 tonnes. After a 1 tonne increase in the first ten years, the average amount of CO2 discharged by each person in Sweden went down to under 6 tonnes in 2007. In contrast, there was a rise in the emission in Italy and Portugal, with 8 tonnes of CO2 per head being produced in Italy in 2007 and a similar amount of CO2 to Sweden being released by each Portuguese in this year.
