Daily Mail: Doomsday clock moves the closest to midnight in its 73-year history: Apocalypse predictor ticks forward twenty seconds amid rising fears from nuclear tensions and the threat of climate change
The clock is at 100 seconds to midnight, the closest it has been since it launched
It has been at two minutes to midnight since 2017 in part due to climate change
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists say there are multiple 'end of days' threats
They say 'new norms of behaviour' are needed to push the clock hands back
The Doomsday clock has ticked forwards 20 seconds and stands just 100 seconds to midnight - the closest in its 73-year history - due to increased nuclear tensions and climate change, bringing us closer to the apocalypse than ever before.
The clock was founded by the US scientists involved in the Manhattan Project that developed the world's first nuclear weapons during World War 2.
It is a symbolic countdown designed to represent the time to a possible global catastrophe and is maintained by scientists including 16 Nobel laureates.

These people are whiners not doers. Throwing in climate change tells me that they are not serious people. I do not doubt they can crank equations, but it takes more than that to be a serious scientist. They are of the same order as Paul Krugman or less.
