‘Doomsday Clock’ Creeps Closer to Midnight

Professor Bruce E. Johansen

The ‘Doomsday Clock,’ the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ legendary symbol of the threat of nuclear holocaust, was moved forward from seven to five minutes before midnight at a news conference January 17. But tightened international tensions over Iran’s and North Korea’s nuclear programs and the Bush/Cheney Administration’s aggressive nuclear policies were not the only motivation for moving the clock two minutes closer to midnight.

For the first time in its 60-year-history, the internationally acclaimed organization factored in the imminent danger of Global Warming, stating, “The dangers posed by climate change are nearly as dire as those posed by nuclear weapons. The effects may be less dramatic in the short term than the destruction that could be wrought by nuclear explosions, but over the next three to four decades climate change could cause irremediable harm to the habitats upon which human societies depend for survival.”
