The bar chart illustrates the amount of carbon emissions produced in six different countries in 1975, 1990 and 2005. Figures are measured in a thousand metric tonnes.
Overall, it is evident that the highest figure was recorded in the USA, whereas the lowest was observed in India in 1975. In addition, emissions increased in China, Canada and in India, while they generally declined in Germany and in the UK.
Looking at the details, the figure for the USA stood at approximately at 1.2 million tonnes in 1975, before increasing to 1.3 million in 1990 and reaching 1.6 million in 2005. Similarly, China experienced a significnt rise, with the figure growing from 300000 to just over 600000 and then to 1.5 million over the period.
Canada and India experienced a slight increase, rising from approximately 100000 and 50000 in 1975 to 120000 and 120000 in 1990 and then to 150000 and 300000 at the end of the period.
Turning to the remaining countries, Germany experienced a slight decline, with the figure falling from around to 300000 thousand metric tonnes in 1975 to around 200000 in 2005. Likewise, the United Kingdom also witnessed a slight decrease from 180000 to 150000, before recovering to 170000.
