If Britain's Gordon Brown gets his way, the term "climate change police" will become more than just a disparaging forewarning.

Britain is the country, remember, that has blanketed the land with closed-circuit cameras to such an extent that its information commissioner complained it had become a "surveillance society."

At the time there were more than four million closed circuit TV cameras in Britain -- about one for every 14 people -- and that was three years ago.

Once the climate change police are in place, would an escalation of closed circuit surveillance be justified?
