My sister's a carbon junkie... My dad never turns the lights out... The baby keeps coughing. I have no money. Should I turn the heating on? Will global warming affect my social life? At other times, the Special Agent intervenes more directly to monitor and reduce emissions of greenhouse gas. Her powers include thermal vision, the ability to fly, and superhuman optimism...
