Stumbled upon this tool – Google Insights for Search from Google via delicious. I thought it was Google Hot trends zeitgeist revamped! But it seems, it is branded as a separate product that is similar to Google Trends but better – it allows you to download stats and even embed them into a webpage. here’s a table that gives us an insight on building interest in “Climate Change” over time and the fervour seems to have picked up quite late in the years.

Google insight speculates that the trending may decrease next year. It mentions that forecasts are based on extrapolation of past values.  I guess it is safe to assume that the current fervor in Climate Change will wane post the COP 15 meet in Copenhagen and be making a lot less headlines next year.
