The world is "3 minutes" from doomsday.
That's the grim outlook from board members of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Frustrated with a lack of international action to address climate change and shrink nuclear arsenals, they decided today (Jan. 22) to push the minute hand of their iconic "Doomsday Clock" to 11:57 p.m.
It's the first time the clock hands have moved in three years; since 2012, the clock had been fixed at 5 minutes to symbolic doom, midnight.

More like one minute due to Norks having nukes, Iran soon having them if not already, and the Mideast flaring up all due to Obama’s planned idiocy.

After 40 years of a clock that couldn't tick five minutes you'd think they'd be too ashamed to try this again.
To: Berlin_Freeper
My fault! I was totally trying to get the stopwatch feature to work, and darn if I didnt screw up the clock again.

If the global warming alarmists were correct, we would be five minutes past midnight by now.

- It's been "a few minutes till midnight" for about fifty years, and
- Normally, the "clock" only responds to actions taken by the United States.
