The Doomsday Clock has ominously been set to 85 seconds to midnight, marking the closest humanity has ever been to catastrophe due to escalating global threats.
This alarming adjustment reflects growing risks from nuclear tensions, climate change, and disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence.
Aggressive actions and nationalistic rhetoric from major powers, including Russia, China, and the United States, fuel fears of imminent conflict and instability.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists warns that a collective failure in global leadership is exacerbating these existential dangers, urging for decisive action.
With nearly 80 years of history, the Doomsday Clock serves as a powerful symbol of our precarious position and the urgent need for societal awareness and response.
Experts emphasize that reversing this trend requires immediate and united efforts to confront the threats we face, reminding us that every second counts in the race against time.
