‘Every second counts’ – Doomsday Clock moves closer to midnight
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have moved the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight than ever before. The clock is now 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has come to catastrophe since its debut 80 years ago.
Last year, the clock was set at 89 seconds to midnight. Alexandra Bell, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, warned that “every second counts, and we are running out of time.”
The Doomsday Clock was first created in 1947 during the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union were heading into a nuclear arms race.
The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making. It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.
When the Doomsday Clock was created in 1947, the greatest danger to humanity came from nuclear weapons, in particular from the prospect that the United States and the Soviet Union were headed for a nuclear arms race. The Bulletin considered possible catastrophic disruptions from climate change in its hand-setting deliberations for the first time in 2007.

This clock has moved closer to the so called DoomsDay every year but will this ever be a reality?
The bible says that God will not allow man to destroy the earth, but rather he will destroy those who seek to destroy the earth.
Revelations 11:18
“18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”
Will the Earth ever be Destroyed?
