The Doomsday Clock has ticked yet closer to a potential global catastrophe according to the alarming update for 2025.
Experts have sounded the alarm, indicating this is the nearest the clock has approached to symbolizing the end of humanity.
Scientists have brought to light that the current time on the Doomsday Clock is merely 89 seconds to midnight, which is a second closer than the previous year.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is responsible for setting the clock’s hands, the same group that accurately foresaw the Russia-Ukraine conflict, ongoing tensions in the Middle East, and emerging threats including nuclear war, climate change, and a looming bird flu pandemic.
This body also anticipated the global pandemic and the accelerating race in artificial intelligence weaponization, according to insiders. Formed in Chicago, this non-profit organization set up the clock in 1947 amidst Cold War fears post-WWII, with the intention of alerting the public to the proximity of potential global annihilation.
“We’ve advanced the clock closer to midnight as we don’t observe any adequate positive movement in tackling the world’s pressing challenges,” a board member stated.
The clock’s current setting at 89 seconds to midnight serves as a dire warning to world leaders according to him. With the clock having been positioned at 90 seconds since 2023, the recent adjustment marks scientific consensus of worsening global issues.
