Probably what the world needs is a good Malthusian moment anyway.

I admit, I had to look it up.  I was close but not exact in my thinking.

sheeeeet.  I had to look up Iron Maiden.  Apparently they were later evolution than Iron Butterfly.

to clarify ... they moved the clock forward 2 minutes; leaving it at 3 minutes till midnight ... citing "global climate change" and "global nuclear weapon modernization" ...

supposedly we are near the "end of humanity as we know it" ... 

 

can't these guys think of anything else to do with their time?

The hand that threatens dooooom, yea!

Doomsday Clock just drop-kicked itself into irrelevance due to the citing of global-warming/climate-change.

I had to look it up as well.

The world would do well to somehow be reverted back to the late 1800s

Not saying first I heard, but one of the first I could get behind.   My experience and range has expanded since.

Anyone that lived through the beginning and so called end of the cold war knows all about the Dooms day Clock. I have no clue when they added the climate change formula into the mix but if the end of the world is going to come in my lifetime it will be a nuclear ending and not a Climate warming / Climate change situation. Any day at any time with the reckless careless people that now have their hands on the buttons.

 

The Cold War is back on but it is back on with a much warmer temperature atmosphere and I look for some radical group of Islamic group to get their hands on enough nuclear materials to build a bomb that will kill millions of people. At that point all the Nuclear powers will blame the other side and the Cold War will go hot and the world will be destroyed by fire as it says in the bible. It just won't be GOD pushing the buttons. It will be stupid humans.............jmho
