Band 5+: The table below shows the production of carbon dioxide in five different countries in 2006. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The table clearly illustrates how the CO2 emission produced by five countries—China, US, Russia, India and Japan—altered across a year period from 2005 to 2006.

Overall, it is evident that there were varied changes about the amount of CO2 production, but the total figure of those have increased slightly by the end, in accordance with the 2005 figure, which reached the top in 2006.

To be more specific, in US, there was a dramatic decline by 9000 million tons of CO2 emission, with the rate of -2% and the average amount of CO2 emission is the largest at 19.8 kilograms per person. Conversely, that of Russia, with the second largest average emission at 12 kilograms, and Japan remained unchanged over the same period, the amounts are 1699 and 1100, respectively.

Moreover, the figure of China and India saw slight rises from 2005 to 2006, individually with the figure from 5600 and 1200 to 6000 and 1300, whilst the rate of change in China experienced the largest increase at 11% and the average of CO2 productions at the bottom at 1.2 kilograms.
