LOS ANGELES (MCT) — Doomsday is one minute closer, folks.
On Monday, the Doomsday Clock read six minutes before midnight. It now reads five minutes before midnight — in recognition of a growing nuclear threat and damage from climate change.
“Inaction on key issues including climate change, and rising international tensions motivate the movement of the clock,” Lawrence Krauss, co-chairman of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists board, said in a statement released Tuesday.
