Doomsday Clock Pushed One Minute Closer to Midnight

According to scientists, we are now (figuratively) five minutes away from complete global destruction.

The Clock is ticking. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have moved the Doomsday Clock one minute closer to midnight — from 6 minutes to midnight to 5 minutes. Midnight means catastrophic destruction for humanity. But don’t worry (well, maybe a little), this is no “Judgment Day” and there is no “Rapture” coming. The Doomsday Clock is figurative and monitors “the means humankind could use to obliterate itself.”

In their announcement on Tuesday, the scientists stated, “two years ago, it appeared that world leaders might address the truly global threats that we face. In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed.”
