"Signs of new arms races are clear," the Bulletin's Scott Sagan said Thursday. The group was founded in 1945 by Albert Einstein, J. The clock has been maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists since 1947. The furthest the clock has been from midnight was 17 minutes in 1991, at the end of the Cold War.

'HISTORIC WAKE-UP CALL' IN 2021: After a brutal 2020, Doomsday Clock is still 100 seconds to midnight The closer to midnight we are, the more danger we're in, according to the bulletin. The clock uses the imagery of apocalypse (midnight) and a nuclear explosion (countdown to zero) to convey threats to humanity and the Earth. The clock “conveys how close we are to destroying our civilization with dangerous technologies of our own making," according to the group. Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said the clock "continues to hover dangerously, reminding us about how much work is needed to be done to ensure a safer and healthier planet. We must continue to push the hands of the clock away from midnight."Įach year, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a nonprofit group that sets the clock, decides whether the events of the previous year pushed humanity closer to or further from destruction. On the contrary, the clock remains the closest it has ever been to civilization-ending apocalypse because the world remains stuck in an extremely dangerous moment.” The 2022 Doomsday Clock statement explains that the “decision does not, by any means, suggest that the international security situation has stabilized. The clock remains closer to destruction than at any point since it was created in 1947. The countdown point is the same as last year's. Ongoing nuclear risks, the threat of climate change, disruptive technologies and the seemingly endless coronavirus pandemic have brought us as close to doomsday as we've ever been, according to the annual Doomsday Clock announcement Thursday in Washington, D.C.
