The Doomsday Clock Moves Closer to Midnight

In the context of climate change, the nuclear threat, and overwhelming information, the "Hours of the Judicial Day" have been moved closer to the cataclysm closer to the nearing of the threshold of a scale disaster on Earth, symbolized at this time since 1947.

Researchers from the journal "Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences" determined that the time between symbolic high noon has decreased to 89 seconds, compared to 90 seconds last year.

Former President of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos, head of "Muddress", a group of former leaders, stated that "The Hours of the Judicial Day are closer to catastrophe than ever in their history."

He also added at a press conference in Washington that "The hours speak of the existential threats we face, and of the necessity for unity and bold leadership to turn the clock back."

This new indicator of the Hours of the Judicial Day was noted the week after Donald Trump took office, who violated the established standards of international cooperation. Santos criticized Trump for withdrawing from the Paris Agreement on climate and the World Health Organization.

Experts also warn of the exacerbating effects of climate change on the planet in light of record high temperatures this new year.
