The Google search function comes with a handy helper. Typically, when you begin to type in search terms, a drop down window will appear to provide helpful suggestions, based on the search terms Google users are typing in most often.
I mention this, because a couple of days ago, typing the word “climate” into the window resulted in “climate hack” and “climate emails” popping up near the top of the handy helper suggestion list.
Today, Google’s handy helper seems to have had a change of heart.

I tried a stronger hint…

Maybe my eyes deceived me. Maybe no one out there was searching for “climate emails” after all?

The same non-thing happens with “climate hack”.
I know you’re asking the same question I am – has Google been hijacked by the folks at Wikipedia….?
Update: Several commentors using google.com are reporting their search bars are behaving like mine was yesterday. I’ve been using google.ca the whole time, so I still can’t explain the change in behavior.

A few quick thoughts….
Two of these “good ol boy” wannabe’s are recent transplants from Toronto.

They should not be held responsible for their actions.
For all their lives the CBC, Toronto Star and urban politicians have painted for them a stereotype of Saskatchewan that told them that driving around and shooting things is our number one sport after bale stacking.
Moving to Saskatchewan was their best CBC Redneck Wet Dream – a fact underlined today in a quote captured by Rawlco Radio’s Tammy Roberts – “We didn’t know the laws in your country”.
We can’t blame them for that, just as we shouldn’t blame the CBC reporters roaming the prairie countryside today looking for a grain elevator – any grain elevator – to satisfy the producers demands for the duck murder news broadcast tonight…
