UK CREATES 'GREEN POLICE'.. ready to target companies, but what about dead animals and humans breathing?

The British Environment Agency is introducing big brother in a green sort of way.. The agency set up a police squad being labeled the boys in green.. They are set to police companies in the UK that emit excessive C02..

The agency is starting with about 50 employees.. they will have warrant cards and will be given the power to search companies they suspect of polluting earth.

According to the TIMES ONLINE,
"Decked out in green jackets, the enforcers will be able to demand access to company property, view power meters, call up electricity and gas bills and examine carbon-trading records for an estimated 6,000 British businesses. Ed Mitchell, head of business performance and regulation at the Environment Agency, said the squad would help to bring emissions under control. "Climate change and CO2 are the world’s biggest issues right now. The Carbon Reduction Commitment is one of the ways in which Britain is responding."

Yesterday, reports emerged that the world's rich are being targeted in carbon crackdown..

While the green police search companies in the UK, it's worth nothing other things on earth that emit carbon: Breathing, volcanoes, automobile exhausts, and animal decays.. Will the green police pick up roadkill? I don't think that's in their job description..
