DOOMSDAY CLOCK
QUOTE:
17 January 2007
" We stand at the brink of a second nuclear age. Not since the first atomic bombs
were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki has the world faced such
perilous choices. North Korea’s recent test of a nuclear weapon, Iran’s
nuclear ambitions, a renewed U.S. emphasis on the military utility of
nuclear weapons, the failure to adequately secure nuclear materials, and the
continued presence of some 26,000 nuclear weapons in the United States and
Russia are symptomatic of a larger failure to solve the problems posed by the
most destructive technology on Earth.
As in past deliberations, we have examined other human-made threats to
civilization. We have concluded that the dangers posed by climate change are
nearly as dire as those posed by nuclear weapons. The effects may be less
dramatic in the short term than the destruction that could be wrought by nuclear
explosions, but over the next three to four decades climate change
could cause drastic harm to the habitats upon which human societies
depend for survival.
This deteriorating state of global affairs leads the Board of Directors of
the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists--in consultation with a Board of
Sponsors that includes 18 Nobel laureates--to move the minute hand of the
“Doomsday Clock” from seven to five minutes to midnight. "

This is not a prediction!
Just an estimation on how close the clock should be,
based on current global events.
(The Middle East, North Korea, Iran & The War on Terrorism)
My estimation on doomsday?
11:59
Kick back and enjoy the show!
This is not meant to spread fear,
only to make you aware that it exists and is still a real threat.
