“Disturbing comments about the use and proliferation of nuclear weapons made by Donald Trump, as well as the expressed disbelief in the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change by both Trump and several of his cabinet appointees, affected the Board's decision, as did the emergence of strident nationalism worldwide.”

I think the kool-aid drinkers are running the show over there. Never has DT in any way said he wanted to proliferate nuclear weapons. What insanity is that. And where has he ever talked about using them. Just more fake news.

Even the scientists at the IPCC don`t forecast the end of the world - unless I am wrong about that. Their consensus is a 2% increase in temperatures that will cause major challenges for the world, including rise in the oceans. But none of that even closely equates to nuclear Armageddon.

Total fake news. Where has Trump ever threatened or mused about the use of nuclear weapons.

“Scientists” will develop or research ANYTHING they can get a grant for. They are the new “performance artists.”

The Democrats are just plain nuts. From deifying Obama to wanting to push the button with Russia because the DNC was revealed to be the criminal operation in RICO with the MSM.

While Obama was POTUS he ordered the bombing of seven different countries, none of which we were at war with.

The clock never moved.

All Trump has to do is talk about nukes, and the sirens go off, destruction is imminent!

Guess that puts the Doomsday clock right up there with the Nobel Peace Prize for over-the-top political bias.

All the real clocks I ever saw NEVER go backwards. And this one has done so repeatedly. So the fact that they can arbitrarily move the time BACKWARDS negates the whole symbolism of their stupid doomsday clock analogy.

THUS: FAKE NEWS

If the world is so delicate that “recent comments” from a man is moving it closer to doomsday, then we’re in a pretty precarious position.

It’s the clock that mankind carries within itself. Under extreme mental pressure the clock shows midnight, as it is with those that have lingered around at home without jobs.

It is said that there are 90 million of those unfortunates among us — that is almost 27% of our population.

That is why the term”jobs, jobs, jobs” was so important in getting Trump elected, and he knows it. For the 27%, mentioned before, Trump could become a savior.

What is the Doomsday Clock?

Didn’t Clockboy have something to do with this?

So that’s how the glo-bull warming “scientists occupy themselves between flurries of “scientific proof” that the seas will cover the earth any day now.
