26.01.2026The Day of the Gulf Stream Collapse Warning
Editorial priority on January 26 shifted from the immediate unrest in Minneapolis to an existential domestic threat: the potential collapse of the Gulf Stream. Following morning reports on extreme Arctic conditions paralyzing wind turbines and spiking energy prices, major outlets like Iltalehti and Ilta-Sanomat pivoted by midday to scientific warnings of a permanent climatic shift toward 'Siberian' conditions in Finland. This environmental alarmism coincided with labor unions demanding state intervention for the emerging 'tundra' reality.
Simultaneously, the afternoon cycle followed Prime Minister Orpo’s diplomatic mission to Beijing, which editors framed as a 'surprise' strategic engagement despite cooling relations with the Trump administration. By evening, attention returned to the United States, but with a sharper focus on economic instability. Editors prioritized the weakening dollar and market volatility over street protests, while courtroom drama surrounding the Espoo millionaire murder trial provided a steady domestic counterpoint to the geopolitical and climatic anxieties of the day.

Vapaakauppa toimii hyvinä aikoina kuin junan vessa. Sotimisen alkaessa se ei toimi. Sekä talouselämällä että poliitikoilla on nyt merkittävä tehtävä kaupan ohjaamisessa. Aivan kuten kaasuputkien ja maakaasuriippuvuuden edistäjät ovat joutuneet noloon valoon, samoin on käymässä vapaakaupan ja maahanmuuton kannattajille, kirjoittaa perussuomalaisten poliittinen suunnittelija Juhani Huopainen.
