If you replace terrorism by terror, the searches curve looks much like the news curve.

Looking at the most recent months, It appears that Global warming is increasing while terrorism is decreasing.

Clearly this evidence shows that global warming is a good thing – it supresses terrorism.

Funny top language search in these trends is Tagalog and then English and regions Jamaica and Trinidad.

Here's a bug i found today on Trends:

search "top secret games, secret games" & you get no results.

search "secret games, top secret games" & you get plenty of results.

--> the bug occurs when the first keyword does not return any results, causing the rest of the keywords to fail to show any results.

you can try it with any keyword that has no data & another that does. here is another example:

search: "M.A.N.D.Y., britney spears" ---> no results!
search: "britney spears, M.A.N.D.Y." ---> plenty of results.

The frequency of searches for the two seem strangely correlated.

I did a post on my blog about whether Google Trends is reliable, and I'm not convinced it is:

For a moment I thought that warming curve was actually a curve of the temperature itself... Would be interesting if there is a connection.

Yeah, possibly i don't think that would be the case- but average global temperature doesn't change like that. We could limit it to one country and display the temperature in that one country over the past three years.
