5 (model answer)Information is given on the actual and estimated energy consumption and emissions for Australia and South Korea for the period 2002 to 2025. The pie charts show that, currently, both countries consume the same amounts of energy, in spite of the fact that the population of South Korea is more than double that of Australia. At present, each country contributes 1.9% to global carbon-dioxide emissions, but this represents 9.5 tonnes per capita in South Korea, whereas in Australia, the figure is 21 tonnes per capita.

Fuel consumption is forecast to increase in each country, although after 2010, the rise in Australia will be slightly more gradual than South Korea's. As far as carbon-dioxide emissions are concerned, South Korea had a lower level than Australia in 2002, but by 2025, its emissions are expected to hav topped 700 million tonnes, whereas in Australia, emissions are likely to rise to just over 600 million tonnes.
