The clock started ticking backwards in 1947 in the wake of the U.S. using atomic bombs against Japan in World War II.
The farthest the clock has been from midnight was 17 minutes in 1991, following the end of the Cold War
The 2020s started with the clock moving to 100 seconds to midnight with the group saying cyber-enabled information warfare was compounding the threat posed by nuclear war and climate change by undercutting society’s ability to respond to either.
I wonder what it will be that will eventually see the human race off. The world seems a very insecure unstable place right now … and judging by speed of descent … are we talking about 35 years left for humanity ?
Good luck to the inheritors of planet earth I say … though forgive us what state it is left in.
