The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is warning the world is moving closer to nuclear doom. On Tuesday, the group moved its symbolic Doomsday Clock one minute closer to midnight.

Allison Macfarlane: “Now, time to announce the Doomsday Clock, and it is now five minutes to midnight. Two years ago, it appeared that world leaders might address the truly global threats we face. In many cases, this trend has not continued, or has been reversed. For that reason, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is moving the clock one minute closer to midnight, back to its time in 2007.”

Lawrence Krauss: “And faced today with the clear and present dangers of nuclear proliferation, climate change and the continued challenge to find new and sustainable and safe sources of energy, business as usual reigns the norm among world leaders.”

The Doomsday Clock was created in 1947 to warn the world of the dangers of nuclear proliferation.
