A spokesman said: 'Factors influencing the latest Doomsday Clock change include international negotiations on nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation, expansion of civilian nuclear power, the possibilities of nuclear terrorism, and climate change.

Climate change? wtf....

It's ubiquitous. Before the day is out, some chucklehead will blame the quake in Haiti on climate change. You watch.

No - the quake in Haiti was REAGAN's fault.

Here in Minnesota we have drastic climate change every year.

90+ deg in the summer
-40 deg in winter

It's no big deal.

Worried about flooding...move away from the water.
Worried about earthquakes...move away from the fault lines (they know where they are).
Worried about the cold/ice...move closer to equator.
Worried about how the planet will be for our kids...Don't have kids

Its not that complicated.

The Doomsday Clock was always about nuclear war and over the years it has morphed into something completely different. It reminds me of government agencies that are created and tasked with resolving a specific issue but never die because they find something else to perpetuate their existence.

It NEVER had any collation to nuclear launch or defense policy.
It was, and always has been a fear monging icon for polarized academics with no concept of the activity at hand.

Just for fun, push the hands to midnite, see if it makes any difference ; )

You might as well just use the Energizer Bunny..... the Rhetoric.... Still Going... Still Going....Still Going.

I read somewhere that if the sun was turned off,we would freeze fairly soon.....but it would take over a million years for the earth to freeze to the core to-400 degrees.

The tune "Two Minutes To Midnight" comes to mind. Awesome song, and believe it or not, reflects the current state of the world pretty damned good. I won't worry until it gets bumped up to one minute before midnight, would they do seconds if it got worse after one?

That would be Danny Glover. What a tool. Riggs should have taken him out...

Reagan had nothing to do with the Haiti earthquake. That was because of the 200-year-old pact with Satan. Hey, Pat Robertson wouldn't lie. He's a man of God.

It was Reagan, Satan, and Global Warming. It's the unholy trinity!

Of course Reagan is the leader of the group.

Now it's moving the other way. And its all because of Obama, the savior.

Truly a political propaganda tool if there ever was one.

Do those scientists live in the same world as the rest of us? Obama isn't going to shut down Iran's enrichment program, and he sure as hell isn't going to get the Russians to disarm. I hope I'm wrong, but historically, any apparent progress is just a cover for clandestine development.
