The "doomsday clock" was updated today. According to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, nuclear war is now more likely than it ever was in the history of mankind.
Timeline - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
What are your thoughts?

So wait...... it's more likely now than before nuclear weapons were invented?

Personally, I think the doomsday clock is silly. Other that inspiring the excellent Iron Maiden track "Two Minutes To Midnight," it has done absolutely nothing. Considering they mention "Climate Change" in the first sentence of their statement, I think you can dismiss the entire statement out of hand.

Nuclear fallout from nuclear bomb tests and nuclear power plant leakages and melt downs is already a nuclear war.

The last people to listen to about anything nuclear is a nuclear scientist. How many of them are so confident of nuclear that they are helping in Fukishima? ZERO
How many nuclear students at universities volunteered to go to Fukishima to help mitigate the damage because nuclear is so innocuous and so green/ ZERO

There is already a worldwide nuclear war and it is being supported by the nuclear industry, mass media and nuclear scientists.

Recently the warming of the ocean and the death of millions of birds was attributed to a" Warming Blob" in the ocean. How very eloquent when it is actually from the Japanese nuclear industry dumping 300 million galloons of highly radioactive water into the Pacific just before Christmas. Nuclear scientists in Japan said they had no other choice as they were out of storage space.

The world is being played by the nuclear industry and governments who support it.

We must wake up

Looks like they are afraid of putting it at the one minute mark because after that they will lose all credibility when nothing happens. This group has largely already dug itself into an awkward hole by being so flashy with their past estimates.

What a joke. Modern science now behaves like the religions it loved to denigrate on its come-up and 'scientists' are the new priests preaching to us whatever they feel we should believe. It all relies on the appeal to authority fallacy, and they are the authorities because they went and got the right credentials ('religious training'). But the actual scientific method prohibits appeal to authority and requires empericism. It's rarely practiced any more. That's why you get stupid stuff like global warming predictions that never come true and this stuff. It's the priest telling you judgement day is coming, but in a new form.

Absolutely correct observation of the sorry state of science these days. The mediocrest scientists and researchers are therefore the most prominent and influential, because they discarded the actual principles of science the quickest and easiest without remorse. Real scientist know that they don’t know anything without empirical evidence and abstain from this neo-religious metamorphosis of science. And look at the youth of the West, Friday’s for Future. They demand: heed the scientists, do what the scientists say. Oh dead. I’d love to yes. But those you heed are the incompetent ones.

I don't buy it. The powers that shouldn't be are just purposefully doing this to instill more fear in people.
