The planet moved significantly closer to a catastrophic event this week as Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency, according to a new report.
The planet's Doomsday Clock is now two-and-a-half minutes to midnight, which represents a global catastrophe. It's the closest the measure has been to midnight since the successful testing of hydrogen bombs in 1953. The new position represents a 30-second lurch forward from the previous position.
A group of nuclear scientists affiliated with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists determine when to move the clock in response to a number of threats from nuclear security to climate change.

Because not mindlessly insultiing Putin and threatening to shoot down real Russian planes over Syria makes us more likely to have a nuclear war... Riiiiight.
The clock doesn’t “lurch” closer to midnight. How long has it been sitting at 11:55 PM?
It’s set by humans with their prejudices, and who hate Trump.

I like how they conveniently ignore Obama and Hillary’s drumbeat of war with Russia all last year.
And Obama wanting war with Syria as well.
Just on time, Doomsday Clock and Homeless are back after 8 years.
That clock has been 1 second from midnight for the past 50 years.
Either AIDS or crack.
That guy is a true bottom dweller.
Notice they didn’t do that when Obama cleared the way for Iranian nukes.
Meaningless... propaganda... take your pick.
How come the ‘Clock’ didn’t move when Obama began rattling the sabre against Russia? First in Syria, most recently I Poland. Ask yourself that Time Magazine?
Way back in the 1970’s or 80’s, that clock was within a
minute of striking midnight due to GLOBAL COOLING. A new
ICE AGE was threatening - until Algore came along with his
GLOBAL WARMING threats. Of course, it hasn’t cramped his
gluttony style one bit. His big jet leaves a giant footprint; as does his mansion in Tennessee; but he’s
“important” you see. Any time he rolls into town, ice
storms follow him. Even Tipper couldn’t take the fakery any
more.
And now for the new homeless report..
More nonsense for the intellectually challenged to slobber over.
Another doomsday clock? I already baked an armageddon cake when al gore’s clock ran out.
Well then by all means move it up some more please. Winning.
The doomsday clock struck the midnight hour for the unemployed the moment they were layed off/fired/lost their jobs against their will. These folks no longer fear that clock.
Ah! The Doomsday Clock! Haven’t heard from them in, what, 8 years?
I am damn near as tired of hearing about this doomsday clock as I am of hearing about man-made global warming
