Doomsday Clock and The Environment
January 17th, 2007 . by adminThe environment strikes back kind of scenario, from The Day After Tommorow is what is current news today January 17th2007 at The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, founders of the Doomsday Clock in 1947.
Those who have seen apocalyptic Y2K or WWIII futurist movies will be able to clearly see what the meaning of the Doomsday Clock is, but more than that, imagine the world being completely destroyed in an all out everybody Nuke everybody Nuke strike, worse than the future in the Terminator movies.
Now imagine that those are not Nukes, but environmental catastrophes described in the book of Revelations.
Tides, climatic changes, winds and coastal waters threaten to remodel our continents due to global-warming, motivating Bulletin scientists to move the Doomsday Clock ahead another two whole minutes.
Threats of a nuclear war with the USSR are gone, but threats from nuclear detonations on US soil from suicidal Islamic fundamentalists is on the rise, be they American or Foreign and for that reason alone, Doomsday Clock should go ahead.
Not since the last five-minutes-ahead adjustment in 2002 has the Doomsday Clock been messed with, but this time, its not Terrorism or Nukes, but now rather, two minutes to midnight with the ever-growing threat of greenhouse gas emissions. It’s 5 minutes to midnight!
