Doomsday Clock 2023 reveals 'it is 90 seconds to midnight' | USA TODAY

This year's Doomsday Clock announcement revealed it is 90 seconds to midnight, making us closer to global catastrophe than ever before.
RELATED: What does it mean when the Doomsday Clock strikes midnight? bit.ly/3XBzwqj
The world is closer to annihilation than it has ever been since the first nuclear bombs were released at the close of World War II, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said Tuesday. The time on the Doomsday Clock moved forward from 100 seconds to midnight to 90 seconds to midnight.
It’s a reset of what has come to be known as the Doomsday Clock, a decades-long project of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists featuring a clock face where midnight represents Armageddon

Since 12 am, 2476 nuclear Devices have gone off, that we know of. 90 seconds till midnight, the end of habitability for humans. We lost 10 seconds from 2020. Does 10 seconds equal 3 years, no.

If you actually look at where this clock was during pivotal moments in history, and where they said we were, you'll realize it's also inaccurate. You know why?

[@esuvii]

The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic representation of how likely the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists considers the risks of a man-made global catastrophe. The imagery is alarming, but their decisions are quite rational. They update the clock moving it closer/further from midnight at this time each year; and the main factors are usually nuclear catastrophe and climate change. The closer to midnight, the greater the assessed risk of disaster.

[@-cosmicdoggo-]

If ya’ll are confused, the doomsday clock is a representation of the end of the world. Alright, so the clock is 90 seconds to midnight, right? So, midnight represents the end of the world, but we are not actually 90 seconds till the end of the world. They’re just saying that since the climate crisis isn’t getting fixed any time soon, more wars are happening, and that the threat of nuclear war is rising, we are getting closer and closer to human extinction. This clock serves as a reminder that we can change the world in a positive or worse way, and we can choose our own paths. This clock is also there to say that we need to turn this world around.
