Doomsday clock moves closer to midnight, raising global alarm
The Doomsday Clock now stands at 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists or BAS moved it forward by one second, warning of increasing global dangers.
The clock was created in 1947 by scientists including Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer.
It symbolises how close humanity is to catastrophe.
It also tracks risks like nuclear war, climate change, and emerging technologies.
Each year, a panel of top scientists, including 10 Nobel laureates, sets the time based on global threats.
The only major rollback was in 1991, after the U.S. and the Soviet Union signed a nuclear arms treaty.
The BAS warns that insufficient action has been taken to prevent existential threats.
The clock’s movement serves as a stark reminder that if world leaders fail to act, humanity could face irreversible disaster.
