Doomsday Clock Moved One Minute Closer to Midnight

[Social Conscience]

The Doomsday Clock has been moved from 23:54 to 23:55 due to inadequate progress on nuclear weapons reduction and proliferation, and continuing inaction on climate change.

The last time the Doomsday Clock minute hand moved was in January 2010, when it was pushed back one minute from five to six minutes before midnight. The clock's hands have been adjusted 20 times since its inception in 1947, when the clock was initially set to seven minutes to midnight.

One must wonder if things go 'boom' will anyone have the time to change the clock to midnight just so we all know in time?

LOL +1000!

If that things starts running fast we're screwed.

Given the current situation, I am sure that the Doomsday Clock of most relevance to us all is this one?

However, if we do suffer a major economic catastrophe and see Europe-wide economic meltdown, it might have the singular side benefit of moving the real Doomsday Clock back a minute or two, given the possibility that we will be living in a barter based agrarian society again?

For some reason, I can't help thinking of George Hooke's "happiness index"?

It can probably be moved back a minute now that both of Jerry Springer's threads have been binned

What ever happened to our own doomsday clock that was removed from the Liffey.
