"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?

Funny this should come up, being an election year and all ... but we're really concerned, being concerned scientists and all, and not biased at all or anything...

Why should I listen to the pronouncements of an organization that’s been continuously wrong for 73 years?

As soon as I saw that the source was “CNN” I assigned it zero credibility.

I’ve been listening to these flakes since the early 70’s.
By far the most dangerous time was under JFK when he underestimated the willingness of Khrushchev to use nuclear weapons during Cuba Crisis.
We nearly got our entire task force destroyed by a nuclear torpedo launched by a Soviet Sub.

Only the Sub commander refusing to fire saved us from WW3.

“It is the closest to Doomsday we have ever been since the clock was created in 1947.”

As Ronald Reagan mentioned in a speech, the only thing that staves off a thousand years of darkness for the world is a strong and free America.

Ban Ki-Moon, Mary Robinson, Jerry Brown and William J. Perry.

It takes four authors now to tell us something we already heard?

Four authors?

Free Republic Rules take over here: the more authors, the more BS.

The headline is redundant. Of course the advance of time brings us closer each second to the apocalypse. Time doesn’t move backward, yo.

Be very afraid. Today you are closer to your death than you were yesterday.

I stopped taking that “clock” seriously in the late 70’s. I didn’t know it was still a thing.

And when did climate change get added to the Doomsday Clock?

Has it, or is it just CNN adding it in?

The powers that be set the Doomsday Clock forward an hour.

Someone tell them it doesn’t go on daylight savings time.

CNN is so profound. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know as every day passes we are getting closer to the end of this old world.

CNN is praying for Doomsday to get here because they are so naked that there’s no other way to hide....
