24 January 2023 at 16:27 The Doomsday Clock is turned forward: 90 seconds to midnight On Tuesday, scientists set the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight. Never before have we humans been so close to doomsday, writes ICAN Norway in a press release. – That the clock is set so close to midnight is dramatic, and a warning from the researchers. The need to raise the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons and strengthen efforts for disarmament is urgent, says Anja Lillegraven, general manager of Norwegian Doctors Against Nuclear Weapons. The scientific panel that sets the Doomsday Clock points to nuclear weapons and climate change as the two biggest existential threats. They also refer to the war in Ukraine when setting the clock this year.
