The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists will host a live international news conference at 10 a.m. EST/1500 GMT on Thursday, January 23, 2020, to announce the 2020 time of the Doomsday Clock. The news conference will take place at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Watch the announcement live on our website or on our Facebook page. DJ- https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/past-statements/" rel="nofollow - https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/past-statements/ between 1953 and 1960 it was two minutes to midnight. We have reached that point again in 2018. To be realistic-with climate chaos and news like https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-troops-seen-blocking-russians-oilfields-series-dangerous-standoffs" rel="nofollow - https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-troops-seen-blocking-russians-oilfields-series-dangerous-standoffs we should be getting to unprecedented one-and-a-half to midnight ? ------------- We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein |

FluMum, at AFT we are previlaged to be informed-most of the larger audience is not. (And I'm sorry to say The Bulletin will not change that). Still.... https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/" rel="nofollow - https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/ ; Closer than ever: It is 100 seconds to midnight 2020 Doomsday Clock Statement To: Leaders and citizens of the world Re: Closer than ever: It is 100 seconds to midnight Date: January 23, 2020 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. - But this year, we move the Clock 20 seconds closer to midnight not just because trends in our major areas of concern—nuclear weapons and climate change—have failed to improve significantly over the last two years. We move the Clock toward midnight because the means by which political leaders had previously managed these potentially civilization-ending dangers are themselves being dismantled or undermined, without a realistic effort to replace them with new or better management regimes. In effect, the international political infrastructure for controlling existential risk is degrading, leaving the world in a situation of high and rising threat. Global leaders are not responding appropriately to reduce this threat level and counteract the hollowing-out of international political institutions, negotiations, and agreements that aim to contain it. The result is a heightened and growing risk of disaster. (DJ-The political part-dismanteling, undermining international structures can do a lot of damage with the present WARS-Corona-virus crisis) ------------- We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein |

Friggen doomsday clock... this is some dumb $hit. It was started in 1940's to scare the crap out of people about the threat of nuclear war. It was used to evoke action. Now its used for everything. It complete garbage. Leftist have hijacked it for global warming. Pi$$off off with your bull***** |

cobber, FluMom, I disagree... We NEED international cooperation to deal with global risks. I live in a small country and if something big happens here we need international help. If there is any truth in what https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/news-nation/coronavirus-in-china-20-million-quarantined-2-8-million-infected-112-000-dead" rel="nofollow - https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/news-nation/coronavirus-in-china-20-million-quarantined-2-8-million-infected-112-000-dead is claiming we need international coordination to deal with the major global crisis that will come. News like this https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/us-troops-block-russian-military-convoy-from-reaching-iraq-border-video/" rel="nofollow - https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/us-troops-block-russian-military-convoy-from-reaching-iraq-border-video/ , https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/russia-air-defense-system-may-already-be-in-iraq-photo/" rel="nofollow - https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/russia-air-defense-system-may-already-be-in-iraq-photo/ give a glimpse of what to expect when there is no international coordination left.... ------------- We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein |
