How close to midnight is humanity? 2023 Doomsday Clock announcement could warn of nuclear disaster
Each January for the past 75 years the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has published a new Doomsday Clock, suggesting just how close – or far – humanity is from the brink.
The next edition will be revealed on Jan. 24 at 10:00 am ET. It's the first update to the clock since Russia's invasion of Ukraine renewed fears of global nuclear war.
Historically, the clock has measured the danger of nuclear disaster, but that's not the only apocalyptic scenario being considered. Climate change, bioterrorism, artificial intelligence and the damage done by mis- and dis-information have also been included in the mix of possible cataclysms.
