 | They say that we are 5 minutes to Doomsday, what do you think? | |
|
| The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which created the Doomsday Clock in 1947 to warn the world of the dangers of nuclear weapons, advanced the clock to five minutes until midnight. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It was the first adjustment of the clock since 2002 and the closest to doomsday it's been since the Cold War. Why did they adjust it? | |
|
| North Korea's nuclear bomb test, Iranian nuclear plans and atomic energy projects posed as an answer to climate change prompted the elite scientific journal to move the hands of its iconic clock on its cover to 11:55.. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Decisions to change the clock come from the bulletin's board of sponsors, a group of scientists and policymakers that includes 18 Nobel laureates. Is it really that serious? | |
|
| Yes! Of Course! Nuclear weapons expansion, renewed emphasis on nuclear weapons in war and poor safeguards of nuclear materials "are symptomatic of a failure to solve the problems posed by the most destructive technology on Earth." | |
