Damn. The blog has had 9.47K page views from Sweden in its entire 10-year history, currently ranking it 11th overall, 12th if one counts "Unknown Region." That means that it had 2.12K page views before this week, which wouldn't have earned it a place in the top 20, as the current holders of that spot, South Korea and Turkmenistan, have 3.25K page views each during the past decade. Anyway, this could be a coincidence, but I doubt it.
I then tweeted the link as a response to her tweet. Beginning the next day, this happened to the page views of Time names Greta Thunberg Person of the Year for 2019, which I linked to in the post I tweeted.This news is neither abstract, far into the future, irrelevant nor hard to understand - which are the usual excuses for not covering the climate emergency.
