According to the scientific body,
the decision was made "largely though not
exclusively" to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Each January, the group
evaluates the state of the world
and updates the clock accordingly.
In 2020, the clock was set to 100 seconds to
midnight and was the first time the clock
was counted in seconds rather than minutes.
At the time, the scientific group, warned that humanity was, "at doom's doorstep.".
In 2021 and 2022, the clock remained at, 100 seconds to midnight.
However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the global
ramifications of its aggression have inched humanity
ten metaphorical seconds closer to annhilation.
The Doomsday Clock is sounding an
alarm for the whole of humanity. We are
on the brink of a precipice. But our leaders
are not acting at sufficient speed or scale
to secure a peaceful and livable planet, Science and security board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, via NPR.
