In a shocking development, the countdown clock to the apocalypse has been set 85 seconds before midnight, marking a significant increase from last year’s 89 seconds. The decision was made by a board of 8 Nobel laureates, who cited the growing concerns of nuclear weapons, environmental degradation, and the spread of misinformation as the reasons for the change.
According to reports, the clock was set earlier than last year due to the deteriorating global situation, with major powers such as Russia, China, and the US increasingly adopting aggressive, confrontational, and nationalist approaches. The clock’s new time is a stark reminder of the fragile state of the world and the looming threat of global catastrophe.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the organization responsible for maintaining the clock, noted that the current state of affairs is reminiscent of the 1947 decision to set the clock to 7 minutes before midnight. The organization’s chairman, Dr. Lawrence Krauss, stated that the world is facing a “perfect storm” of nuclear proliferation, environmental degradation, and cyber attacks, which threatens the very existence of humanity.
The clock’s new time has been met with concern and alarm from world leaders, with some calling for immediate action to address the growing threats. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has vowed to defend his country against any potential US attack, while US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has warned of the dangers of Iranian aggression.
Meanwhile, in other news, a small plane crash in Colombia has killed all 15 people on board, while a meeting between UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin has sparked speculation about a possible thaw in relations between the two countries.
In a separate development, a new plan has been announced to make Dubai a 20-minute city, with citizens able to complete all necessary transactions from the airport before departing. The move is seen as a major improvement to the city’s infrastructure and will make travel easier and more convenient for residents and visitors alike.
The clock’s new time is a stark reminder of the dangers facing the world today, and the need for immediate action to address the growing threats of nuclear war, environmental degradation, and cyber attacks. As the world teeters on the brink of disaster, it remains to be seen whether leaders will take the necessary steps to avert catastrophe.
