Atomic scientists set the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight than ever before on Tuesday, saying threats of nuclear war, disease, and climate volatility have been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, putting humanity at greater risk of annihilation.

The Doomsday Clock, created by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to illustrate how close humanity has come to the end of the world, moved its "time" in 2023 to 90 seconds to midnight, 10 seconds closer than it has been for the past three years.

Midnight on this clock marks the theoretical point of annihilation. The clock's hands are moved closer to or further away from midnight based on scientists' reading of existential threats at a particular time.

Looks like the Uke Nazi Warmongers got what they Dismissed from possibility.

This is the closest to a nuclear war we have ever been. i am surprised the Fascist Pundits are not out there screaming “Trumps Fault”. The have already blamed the Russian invasion on Trump.

One-and-and-half minutes to midnight just doesn’t have the same vibe.

Okay, ten seconds in three years and ninety seconds to go. A little math puts my age at 94 when it hits midnight, so I have a hard time worrying too much.

It’s an illusion. We all already died of global warming and acid rain over 20 years ago

They include “climate volatility’ in their existential threat matrix? Ridiculous. There are no scientists doing this, just frantic lefty alarmists.

Things sure went to hell once Blinken took over. Afghanistan, Taiwan, NK, and now Ukraine. An honorable man would have hung himself for so many failures. Anytime Blinken comes on the news to be interviewed, I cannot help but wonder if his conscience is so seared that he has no heart and soul anymore. His failures are taking us to a nuclear war.

Those “scientists” pushing climate change only signed onto that train just to keep their funding.

The “Doomsday Clock” is just another anti-American, leftist desiccated propaganda corpse dragged out of its closet to frighten the children.
