The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved its symbolic Doomsday Clock to the closest point to midnight in its 73-year history. The group cited the dual threats of nuclear war and climate change.

WASHINGTON — The keepers of the Doomsday Clock on Thursday moved the symbolic countdown to global disaster to the closest point to midnight in its 73-year history, citing “existential danger” from nuclear war and climate change.

The decision was made by the group’s science and security board, in consultations with its board of sponsors, which includes 13 Nobel laureates. “The international security situation is dire, not just because these threats exist, but because world leaders have allowed the international political infrastructure for managing them to erode,” it said.

“We now face a true emergency — an absolutely unacceptable state of world affairs that has eliminated any margin for error or further delay,” she said.

They haven’t seen shit if they think we are that close to midnight. I spent many years racing to destruction and let me tell you we are still clearly in 8pm chaos territory. It will be so much worse when we actually get close to midnight.

Doomers

It’s terrifying when you realize how far we have fallen in just 3 short years.....

THANK TRUMP!

*brought to you by Revelations

We were smart enough to eliminate daily color coded terror threat levels. This 'clock' should be in a curiosity museam.

Climate change. OMG so fucking fake

Yeah sure ok

CarlMacGowan Yeah but the world is a much more dangers place today then when the US and the USSR literally had issues pointing at each other and fingers on buttons.

Might as well go watch Watchmen movie and series again....

this clock has been at 15 mins for years when is it going to start ticking

They just finished season 1 of The Watchmen

Humans have been experts in making disastrous predictions

So what happens when the clock goes past the hour?

What happens when the time runs out and we haven’t hit doomsday? Do they just start a new day?

Oh ok

A worthless measure

oh calm tf down.

Finally. Bring on the apocalypse
