""Humanity has not made sufficient progress on the existential risks that endanger us all," said Alexandra Bell, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. "The Doomsday Clock is a tool for communicating how close we are to destroying the world with technologies of our own making. "The risks we face from nuclear weapons, climate change and disruptive technologies are all growing. Every second counts and we are running out of time. It is a hard truth, but this is our reality.""
""In 2026 the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said Doomsday clock stood at 89 seconds to midnight, on Tuesday the clock moved to 85 seconds midnight. This means the world is no 85 seconds closer to total Armageddon. "Of course, the Doomsday Clock is about global risks, and what we have seen is a global failure in leadership," Bell told Reuters. "No matter the government, a shift towards neo-imperialism and an Orwellian approach to governance will only serve to push the clock toward midnight.""
Professors Jeffrey Sachs and Glenn Diesen warned that nuclear war is closer today than ever before and that global all-out war appears increasingly likely. World-leading scientists and experts identified nuclear weapons, climate change, and artificial intelligence as growing existential threats that raise the risk of self-destruction. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock from 89 to 85 seconds to midnight in 2026, signaling increased peril. Alexandra Bell said humanity has not made sufficient progress on existential risks and described the Doomsday Clock as a tool for communicating how close humanity is to annihilation. The Bulletin warned of global leadership failures and a shift toward neo-imperialism and Orwellian governance.
