We as the human race have never ventured this close to the edge of the Abyss. The Doomsday Clock, a symbol that represents the likelihood of total global thermonuclear war since 1947. In 2015, the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock moved from 5 minutes to 3 minutes to midnight. Marking the most important and dangerous trend in 2017.
The last time it was 3 minutes to midnight was back in 1984, due to further escalations of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Today: 2 and a half minutes to midnight!
The Science and Security Board warned: the probability of global catastrophe is very high; actions needed to reduce the risks of disaster must be taken very soon.” In 2017, we find the danger to be even greater, the need for action more urgent. It is two and a half minutes to midnight, the Clock is ticking, global danger looms. Wise public officials should act immediately, guiding humanity away from the brink. If they do not, wise citizens must step forward and lead the way. See the full statement from the Science and Security Board on the 2017 time of the Doomsday Clock.
