re: Doomsday Clock 2024: Awful News For Humanity....
Scientists to Deliver a Warning About Nuclear WAR With Doomsday Clock 2024 Announcement Tuesday 23 Jan. at 10:00 am ET US
It's almost that time again: Time for the annual update of the Doomsday Clock, the symbol of how close the world is to civilization-ending catastrophe.
AP 16 JAN 2024
First set in 1947, the Doomsday Clock warns humanity about how close – or far – we are to destroying our world with our own dangerous technologies.
"It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet," according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which sets the symbolic time each January.
In recent years, the clocks' settings have mostly reflected the risk of nuclear war and the dangers of uncontrolled climate change.
This year, the clock will be updated on Tuesday 23 Jan. at 10:00 am EST in Washington, D.C. The last announcement in January 2023 came before the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war but amid nuclear tension surrounding Russias' invasion of Ukraine.
