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.
