Why the world is closer than ever to Doomsday
CNN ^ | January 24, 2020 | Ban Ki-Moon, Mary Robinson, Jerry Brown and William J. Perry

On Thursday, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which takes stock of the threats posed by nuclear war and climate change each year, moved the Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds before midnight. We are now measuring how close the world is to catastrophe in seconds -- not hours, or even minutes. It is the closest to Doomsday we have ever been since the clock was created in 1947.

"Humanity continues to face two simultaneous existential dangers—nuclear war and climate change—that are compounded by a threat multiplier, cyber-enabled information warfare, that undercuts society's ability to respond. The international security situation is dire, not just because these threats exist, but because world leaders have allowed the international political infrastructure for managing them to erode."


"cyber-enabled information warfare" meaning people finding the truth on the internet not being forced fed propaganda from the international deep state. And when did climate change get added to the Doomsday Clock?

Actually, each day we move closer to the return of Jesus. That will be “Doomsday” for some folks.

“Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists”. It’s right in their name, they should only focus on WMD stuff, not other crap.

I’m looking out my window and it’s cloudy.

It’s true.

I just got my mastercard bill.

I’m hoping for doomsday before it’s due.

the closest we ever got to doomsday was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Today ain’t it.
Anyone thinking that climate change is doomsday is a retard.
Anyone thinking nuclear holocaust is upon us is also a retard.
The closest world even that merits concern is disease.
And I’m not worried about that either.

Funny. We are in the beginning of (yet another) global plague, yet they cite information warfare as an immediate crisis that will destroy their world. And a warmer climate that will do no harm.

Shove it, CNN.

You are the very definition of “Collection of Dumb**ses”.

After all, you all are working for a very low rated cable news network.

Can’t go much lower.

And the only solution is to give somebody all your money to stop it right? Meanwhile assclowns like nanny bloomers and tommy styro unload millions in a campaign they have no chance of winning. Yeah, that seems right. In the end, if it is “THE END”, nothing will solve it. It’s simply THE END.

I was born the same year the “doomsday clock” was created. In high school days I paid attention to it because I was raised hearing the “duck and cover” public service announcements on TV. Sometime in college I realized that the “Atomic Scientists” that ran it were only focused on the United States abolishing its nuclear weapons and NOT the Soviets, thus I decided that it was a pro-Soviet organization.

I don’t know when they added “climate change” as I don’t pay attention to their blatherings, but I’m guessing that its is probably in the last dozen years or so. Why have the added it: trying to “keep relevant” in a world without the Soviet Union and that both the US and Russia have reduced their nuclear arsenals. I don’t know if they factor in the North Korean and Iranian working on nuclear weapons as a threat.

Styer and Doomberg. Political Action Committees disguised as campaigns.
