What do you think - Doomsday Clock and UN Secretary General's' speech?

Doomsday Clock: A hypothetical global catastrophe is represented by midnight on the clock, with the Bulletin's opinion on how close the world is to one represented by a certain number of minutes or seconds to midnight, assessed in January of each year. The main factors influencing the clock are nuclear risk and climate change. Since 2020 it has been at 100 seconds, just 1 minute and 40 seconds before midnight.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Monday that “humanity is just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation.”

What are your thoughts? Are we really teetering on the edge of annihilation?

I cant do anything about it, so i dont worry about it.
Worry about the things we can do something about.

Highly unlikely
We have been one miscalculation or misunderstanding away from that possibility since the 70's

@istillhaveanameitsrick that's kind of where I am, at least for it being a nuclear caused annilation. I nor can anyone know about a natural disaster like volcanos. I do think we need to be aware, but these clocks and warnings... too much like the boy who cried wolf.

I don’t think it will ever happen. Destroying the environment will end us first. Greed rules.

this guy is united nation secretary general and his opinion should be respected .personally it is unnecessary scare mongering . before either superpower made that crazy decision too go nuclear there would diplomatic channels open . nobody on this planet in there right mind wants to see the death destruction and devastation of hirosoma or nagassaki again [ontheroad]

My hope is that the aliens have disarmed all of the warheads but know one knows for sure if the work or not. There was rumor that when Bush was president it came out that more than half of the US nuclear warheads were compromised so they created a project to rework them.

At the rate tensions are building with Russia and China I think we are much closer to a massive conflict now than we were in the Cuban Missile crisis.

Make the most of every day as if it were your last day.
