'We are now expressing how close the world is to catastrophe in seconds.” Rachel Bronson, president of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says as Doomsday Clock ticks down to 100 seconds to midnight

President and CEO of the non-profit group Rachel Bronson said"It is the closest to Doomsday we have ever been in the history of the Doomsday Clock." The clock was created in 1947.

The danger level was compounded by information warfare and disruptive technologies ranging from deep fake video and audio to the militarisation of space and the development of hypersonic weapons. "This year could see not just the complete collapse of the Iran nuclear deal," added Squassoni, with Tehran boosting its enrichment efforts.

"If humankind pushes the climate into the opposite of an ice age," said Sivan Kartha, a scientist at the Stockholm Environmental Institute, "we have no reason to be confident that such a world will remain hospitable to human civilisation."
