Scientists say the world has edged closer to apocalypse in the past year amid a darkening security landscape and comments by Donald Trump.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BPA) moved the minute hand of the symbolic Doomsday Clock from three minutes to two-and-a-half minutes to midnight.
It is second closest it has been.
BPA chief Rachel Bronson urged world leaders to "calm rather than stoke tensions that could lead to war".
In a report, the BPA said President Trump's statements on climate change, expanding the US nuclear arsenal and the questioning of intelligence agencies had contributed to the heightened global risk.
It is the closest the clock has come to midnight since 1953, when the minute hand was moved to two minutes away following hydrogen bomb tests by the US and Russia.

Not a fat lot we can do about it, so I say enjoy your life day to day, none of us know what is around the corner.

:D

Oh and plenty of :cool: so if the bomb does drop you're well relaxed anyway.

It's probably part of the world population reduction plan.

Mind you, they'd do less damage by deploying the Genetic Bullet that everybody has denied existence of (but the Yanks and Russians and maybe the Chinese have been working like fury on behind the scenes).

Or maybe releasing a virulent VHF (They're all virulent anyway aren't they?). There's load of nasty ones to choose from.

I think I would prefer the quick death provided by a bomb, than a slow one caused by a virus.

Precisely my attitude... Worry not about that which you can do nothing about! And until something bad does happen (if it happens) just take life one day at a time, and try to smile and be thankful for what you have :)

I thought the Cuban missile crisis was generally considered the closest we'd got to this ... 1962 doesn't appear at all :scratch:

WW2 got a bit close to call on occasion too. The way I see it the people with all the money are the only ones with the power to blow it all up. Why would they ever do that? Even if they survive the money is worthless and there is no-one left to have power over.

Its more likely to be a: meteor, asteroid, mini iceage brought on by the solar minimum, or solar radiation getting through because of the collapse of earths magnetic field due to an eminent pole shift. :sofa:
