The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says the metaphorical clock shows we are “30 seconds closer to catastrophe”.

Missile testing in North Korea, an enhanced commitment to nuclear weapons in China, Pakistan and India, and Donald Trump’s “unpredictability” were considered while making a decision. 

The world moved closer to an existential catastrophe this year as the threat of nuclear warfare escalated, bringing the symbolic Doomsday Clock two minutes away from midnight, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said Thursday.

A group of scientists has moved the symbolic ‘Doomsday Clock’ a half-minute closer to midnight, saying world leaders have failed to respond effectively to the looming threats of nuclear war and climate change. James Valles reports.

Doomsday Clock 2018: World ‘closer to self-destruction than ever’

The world is closer to a nuclear apocalypse than it was last year, according to the 2018 position of the symbolic Doomsday Clock.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists revealed the 2018 position as two minutes to midnight on Thursday.

Scientists made the call amid the growing tensions between the United States and North Korea, which have been engaged in a war of words over Kim Jong Un’s nuclear weapons programme.

The annual reading is intended to represent how close we are to destruction – midnight representing the end of the world as we know it.

It follows last year’s reading of two and a half minutes to midnight.

The hypothetical countdown, which was introduced in 1947 and predicts the likelihood of a man-made global disaster, last reached two minutes to midnight in 1953 – when the US and the Soviet Union were testing hydrogen bombs.

The reading in more recent times has reflected the impact of climate change on the planet and the effects of new technology and science in the world.

The Doomsday Clock was was furthest away at 17 minutes to midnight in 1991.

Speaking at the announcement event, theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss said: “The danger of nuclear conflagration is not the only reason the clock has been moved forward.

“This danger looms at a time when there’s been a loss of trust in political institutions, in the media, in science and in facts themselves – all of which exacerbate the difficulty of dealing with the real problems the world faces.”

Rachel Bronson, president and chief executive of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said “nuclear issues took centre stage once again” during this year’s deliberations. 

She said missile testing in North Korea, an enhanced commitment to nuclear weapons in China, Pakistan and India, and Donald Trump’s “unpredictability” were considered while making a decision. 

“Because of the extraordinary danger of the current moment, the Science and Security Board today moves the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock 30 seconds closer to catastrophe,” she said.

“It is now two minutes to midnight ­­­­- the closest the clock has ever been to Doomsday, and as close as it was in 1953, at the height of the Cold War.”

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED & PROTECTED?  

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

 Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

​​God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

 You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

 Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
