Doomsday Clock warns humans are trending closer to catastrophe at 85 seconds from midnight. Here's what to know.
“The Doomsday Clock’s message cannot be clearer,” the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists CEO Alexandra Bell said in a statement. “Catastrophic risks are on the rise, cooperation is on the decline, and we are running out of time. Change is both necessary and possible, but the global community must demand swift action from their leaders.”
The clock is a symbolic way to show the public how close scientists believe the world is to a human-made apocalypse.
