Doomsday Clock moved to worrying position for first time amid nuclear war tensions rising

The Doomsday Clock has moved to a worrying position for the very first time amid the threat of nuclear war rising. The clock was created in 1947 to warn humanity of the dangers of nuclear weapons.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have moved the hands on the Doomsday Clock 90 seconds to midnight. The closer it edges to midnight, the nearer the experts from the Science and Security Board believe that the world is to an Armageddon scenario.

The Express reports that Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine and a deepening climate catastrophe have concerned the scientists. The Chicago-based group make annual predictions on the globe's fate by moving the hands of the clock every January.
