2018 Doomsday Clock Statement - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
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. 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.
The hands move closer to midnight For the past 12 months, the Bulletin Clock has stood at 7 minutes before midnight but events have not stood still. As the year 1980 drew to a close, the world seemed to be moving unevenly but inexorably closer to nuclear disaster. The Clock must record this movement.
In response to these trends and as a warning of where they lead, we have moved the Bulletin’s “doomsday clock” forward by one minute-to three minutes before midnight.
