The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years.
In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007.
On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades.
In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 with about 10 metric tonnes from a baseline rate of over 8. This rate however noticeably plunged as the years gone by until it reached a rate which is almost similar to Portugal in the year 2007.

The line graph illustrates the proportion of carbon dioxide emissions per citizen in four different European countries (United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal) from 1967 to 2007. All units are described in metric tons.
ReplyDeleteOverall, Italy and Portugal had experienced an increase in CO2 release, while the UK and Sweden cut down their emissions of carbon dioxide over the 40 years. However, the people of Britain discharged the highest amount of carbon dioxide among the other countries all over the period.
Portugal emitted the lowest amount of CO2 (approximately 1.2 metric tons) at the beginning of the period which reached around 4.5 at the end of the period. The production of carbon dioxide was almost doubled in Italy from approximately 4.5 in 1967 to almost 8 metric tons in 2007, jumping to the top second country among the four countries.
On the contrary, Britain experienced a downward trend of carbon dioxide released by 2 metric tons from 1967 to 2007, with total emissions of almost 11 and 9 metric tons, respectively. The carbon dioxide discharge went down by Swedish people from approximately 9 to 5.5 metric tons over the 40 years, facing an increase of about 10.5 in the 1970s.
