 Doomsday Clock has been reset, reveals how close humanity is to destruction: ‘Global catastrophe’

Is humanity doomed?

The annual update of the Doomsday Clock was announced at 10 a.m. this morning in Washington, DC.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that the Doomsday Clock this year was set to 90 seconds to midnight — for the second year in a row, “reflecting the continued state of unprecedented danger the world faces.”

Last year, the clock was also set to 90 seconds to midnight — the closest it’s ever been to midnight in the history of the clock.

“Make no mistake: resetting the Clock at 90 seconds to midnight is not an indication that the world is stable. Quite the opposite. It’s urgent for governments and communities around the world to act. And the Bulletin remains hopeful—and inspired—in seeing the younger generations leading the charge,” Rachel Bronson, PhD, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said in a statement.

The Doomsday Clock, a relic from the 1980s, deserves some music from the 1980s ...

... when 2 minutes to midnight was supposed to keep us awake at night.

Yet the two closest years to destruction are with a Stalinist-Communist in the White House.
