The Post report disclosed that recent changes to the Doomsday Clock have been made in response to President Donald Trump. The failure in 2017 to secure a temporary freeze on North Koreas nuclear development was unsurprising to observers of the downward spiral of nuclear rhetoric between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the report elaborated.
BAS slipped in other stereotypically liberal language as well, claiming avoiding catastrophic temperature increases in the long run requires urgent attention now.
Krauss and Rosner revealed the real purpose for the Doomsday Clock in their conclusion: to act as a tool of activism.

Tick, Tock, Tock, Tock, Tick, tick, tick, tock, tick, tick -—> BOOM!
Or, maybe not...
“Moron” the BOOMsday clock:
I wondered why they were bringing back this silly clock, resurrecting it from the carl sagan nuclear winter days of trying to prevent Reagan from winning the cold war.
Now I know why.
Dems, do not ask for whom the bell tolls....
Seriesly?
Sweater vests for everyone!
Ask not for whom the bell tolls and relax... if you can hear the bell, its not for you!
A perfect demonstration of why the CREDIBILITY CLOCK for the media and so-called “Scientific Community” are ticking closer and closer to ZERO.
Just more political Correctness and leftist fear mongering.
According to the current thinking of the BAS scientists the 1963 Cuban Missile Crisis doesn’t rate high enough to be shown on the clock graphic.
But “Climate Change” is specified as being a factor in 2015.
Even though the Russians with Nikita Khrushchev, one of the most belligerent, vicious and brutal leaders in modern times, had nuclear capable missiles operational only 90 miles from the USA.
So why are Atomic Scientists, who are supposedly focused on the threat of nuclear weapons, working climate considerations into their threat analysis anyway?
Just more political B.S.
By and large PHDs are natural authoritarians ...
And, a lot of them I’ve met and dealt with over the years are smart in theory but escaping a paper bag would prove their downfall.

Another non-partisan science group.
I’ll take my sweater vest with extra moral malaise... to go.
;-)
I’ve always viewed that clock as a measure of how successful America has been at defending itself.
Rather an inverse indicator of risk.
No ,it’s a clock without a tick tock ,the hands are moved by a Demonut Stodge

Its a long story but in 1986 the USSR and the USA were within two minutes of total Nuclear war. A single Russian Comander, figured out that the military moves he was witnessing in America was a drill, and counter to commands failed to launch. Now imagine if that happened today, and that commander had watched ‘Morgan Freeman’s “We’re at War with Russia’ video the night before. This “Russis Russia” is very very Dangerous.
