DOOMSDAY CLOCK
The keepers of the Doomsday Clock on Thursday moved the symbolic countdown to global disaster to the closest point to midnight in its 73-year history, citing “existential danger” from nuclear war and climate change. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which was founded after the creation of the atomic bomb during the Second World War and focuses on the greatest threats to human survival, said it moved the clock from two minutes to midnight to 100 seconds to midnight – a 20-second advance. The decision was made by the group’s science and security board, in consultations with its board of sponsors, which includes 13 Nobel laureates. In a statement accompanying the clock’s advance, the organization said the nuclear and climate dangers “are compounded by a threat multiplier, cyberspace-based information warfare that undercuts society’s ability to respond.” “The international security situation is dire, not just because these threats exist, but because world leaders have allowed the international political infrastructure for managing them to erode,” it said. Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said: “We are now expressing how close the world is to catastrophe in seconds – not hours, or even minutes.” Come out of the woodwork all you Ignorant Trump Voters. Defend your votes and your support of him. You owe us at least this much as you supported that horrible, greedy, shortsighted craven fool who will try to protect his ugly, venal, grasping family in underground bunkers while the rest of us try to survive the annihilation of ourselves, our children, and whatever generations might have come but will not. yes, yes..i know you have the right to vote as you will...but look at the dreadful deadly mess you've created...and frankly, i don't even think you got a fair trade ...maybe a job that will be short-lived, maybe a few pennies more per hour long as the job lasts, and then a world you wont be able to afford enough gas masks to live in.

Why don't you address the Boris Johnson voters? He won in a landslide. You're living in a Commonwealth country. Or the voters in Brazil or Australia or Israel or India?
