This idea is to reverse the Doomsday clock, just as it has hit its closest point to midnight. The Chicago-based non-profit created the clock in 1947 during the Cold War. Nearly 80 years on, the escalating danger of nuclear war remains a significant threat to humankind. "In terms of nuclear risks, nothing in 2025 trended in the right direction," Ms Bell said. Other factors pushing the hands towards midnight were widening wars, rapid advances in artificial intelligence and climate change. "The Doomsday Clock's message cannot be clearer," Bulletin of Atomic Scientists chief executive Alexandra Bell said. "Catastrophic risks are on the rise, cooperation is on the decline, and we are running out of time." So. The idea is that we start cooperating. Right here!
