Climate Change: Imagine a society in which children are encouraged to be
informants against their families over a phony issue?

Imagine no longer.

We're not talking about kids turning in parents who commit serious crimes.
We're talking about children tallying up environmental transgressions, such
as leaving the water running or the lights on too long.

Sounds benign, almost like a little family fun? That's what NPower, a
British electricity provider and creator of the Climate Cops campaign, which
has its own Web site, wants the public to think.

But the program has an unpleasant odour. In fact, it is truly Orwellian.
Kids are expected to keep diaries in which they record their families'
environmental sins - a "climate crime case file" - and are urged to talk
about the offenses in their classrooms.

It's just a way to raise awareness of global warming and how waste
contributes to climate change, nothing more, NPower says, and children won't
really be telling on mom and dad anyway.

Don't be duped.

One, the threat of kids informing on their parents is implied and should
make anyone uncomfortable.

Two, the campaign puts into place a foundation - and a mind-set - that a
future informant program could operate on.

On Thursday, we noted on this page the British study recommending the
rationing of meat and milk to hold back climate change.

Today, it's kids squealing on parents who don't practice
environmentalist-approved habits at home.

Tomorrow, we fear, is likely to bring yet another campaign in which elitists
use the nonexistent threat of global warming to force the lifestyle changes
they think are necessary on people they could not otherwise control.

Here are the global average temperatures since 1958. "o" = trend line.

Look at all those "o"'s lined up there. The trend is up, Up, UP.

And most recently the rate of increase is about 2'C per century.
