From 1967 to 2007, the line graph depicts the quantity of CO2 released by each person

in four nations.
It is apparent that each Swedish or British individual produced less CO2 over the study
period, whereas CO2 emissions in Italy and Portugal increased. Citizens in the United
Kingdom were responsible for the most quantity of CO2 emissions at all times.
A UK inhabitant created around 11 tonnes of CO2 in 1967, followed by 9 tonnes in
Sweden. In comparison, each Italian discharged more than 4 tonnes, which was almost
three times that of a Portuguese.
From then on, the average amount of CO2 emitted in the UK steadily declined to less
than 9 tonnes, while the number for Sweden, after a 1-tonne increase in the first
decade, likewise moderately decreased to well under 6 tonnes at the conclusion of the
period. In contrast, each individual in Italy created more CO2, which increased to
nearly 8 tonnes in 2007, compared to an equally considerable increase to around 6
tonnes in Portugal.
