  Scientists and global leaders revealed on Tuesday that the "Doomsday Clock" has been reset to the closest humanity has ever come to self-annihilation.


The article from ABC News discusses the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' decision to set the Doomsday Clock at 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to global catastrophe, signaling an unprecedented level of risk. This adjustment reflects concerns over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has escalated nuclear threats, alongside ongoing issues like climate change, biological threats, and disruptive technologies. The clock, established in 1947, symbolizes how close humanity is to self-destruction, with midnight representing the end of civilization. The scientists highlighted the war in Ukraine as a significant factor due to the potential for nuclear escalation, either by accident, intention, or miscalculation. Additionally, the article touches on the broader implications of this setting, urging global leaders to address these existential threats more urgently.
