"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."

We can't put a date on Doomsday, but by looking at the 5,000 years of civilization, we can understand the trajectories we face today - and self-termination is most likely.
