Jostein Hauge, a Cambridge economist, pointed out that from 1969 to 2025, none of the 99 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences winners listed a mainland Chinese affiliation, sparking lively discussion. Some blame bias toward Western free-market ideas and exclusion of critics or state-led models, while others stress the award rewards theoretical work with a long impact lag, not policy outcomes. Chinese success, they note, came from pragmatic reforms like Deng Xiaoping's rather than prize-winning theories, highlighting tensions between global economic power and academic recognition.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

China's rise to the world's second-largest economy has lifted millions from poverty, yet no economist from a mainland institution has claimed the Nobel in economics.

A FIFA spokesperson noted close work with teams to meet such requests amid the 48-team tournament.

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.
