The Doomsday Clock, which symbolizes humanity's proximity to self-destruction, has ticked closer to midnight, now standing at 89 seconds. This marks the closest point in its history and follows warnings from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists about unprecedented global risks. Factors such as nuclear proliferation, climate change, disruptive technologies, and misinformation are cited as critical threats. The Bulletin emphasizes the need for national leaders, particularly in the U.S., China, and Russia, to engage in urgent discussions to avert potential disaster and regain control over these existential challenges.
The 2025 Clock time signals that the world is on a course of unprecedented risk, and that continuing on the current path is a form of madness.
Despite unmistakable signs of danger, national leaders and their societies have failed to do what is needed to change course.
The clock now stands just 89 seconds away its first move in two years and the closest the clock has come to midnight in its nearly eight-decade history.
National leaders must commence discussions about these global risks before it's too late, starting a dialogue on life-and-death issues facing humanity.
