The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has announced its annual adjustment to the Doomsday Clock, moving it to 90 seconds to midnight. This is the closest the clock has ever been set to midnight, representing the hypothetical global catastrophe point. The decision is driven by a combination of factors, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, persistent nuclear risks, the climate crisis, and other global threats. The announcement serves as a call to action for world leaders and citizens to address these critical challenges.
