Doomsday Clock Ticks Closer to Midnight

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has announced that the Doomsday Clock is now set at just 85 seconds to midnight. This decision reflects a growing concern about the existential threats facing humanity, including climate change, nuclear weapons, and pandemics.

The statement emphasizes how international cooperation is declining, making it more difficult to address these global challenges. World leaders are called upon to act quickly to reduce risks and ensure a safer future.

The Doomsday Clock is a globally recognized symbol representing the world's vulnerability to catastrophe. Its position is updated annually by a group of scientists and experts, based on an assessment of global risks.
