DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Researchers at Germany's Potsdam Institute analyzed data from satellites, buoys, and ships, linking the continent-sized cold blob to reduced heat transport in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) since the 1950s. Direct measurements from the RAPID array show the AMOC's flow has weakened by 10-15% since 2004, with freshwater from Greenland's melting ice making surface waters less dense and slowing the current. Online views divide, with some warning of colder European winters and others pointing to past cool periods without collapse, though experts stress century-scale trends amid ongoing monitoring.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A massive patch of unusually cool ocean water southeast of Greenland has people talking about the Atlantic's vital current system. Known as the 'cold blob,' it's cooled by up to 1°C over 150 years while the rest of the world's oceans warm.

A February 19 post claimed the couple is expecting their first child together, drawing over 21,000 likes, memes about their ages—Perry at 41, Trudeau at 53—and jokes from users like psychologist Gad Saad. Fact-checks confirm no evidence supports the pregnancy; the photo is real from Perry's vacation, but the caption is unverified rumor. Their relationship went public late last year with snaps from Tokyo and holidays, and sources say it's grown more serious since Trudeau stepped down as prime minister in 2025. Both have kids from prior marriages—Perry's daughter Daisy, 5, and Trudeau's three children—and they've stayed quiet amid the buzz.

A cozy skiing selfie of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau lit up feeds with wild baby rumors. But no announcements from either mean it's all just fun speculation.
