The Doomsday Clock is a Cold War throwback that ticks louder this year.
the clock came to midnight. In 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union and signing of the first Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, the time moved to 17 minutes from midnight, the furthest it’s ever been.
Since then, we’ve inched closer to midnight. In 2010, we gained a minute after a new strategic arms treaty — called New START — and the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, but the clock has ticked down. In 2018 it hit two minutes again. And since 2020, it’s hovered at 100 seconds. The group cited “mounting dangers of the war in Ukraine,” including “Russia’s thinly veiled threats to use nuclear weapons”; military operations near nuclear reactors; and threats to New START, “the last remaining nuclear weapons treaty between Russia and the U.S.”August warning that the world is in “a time of nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War.”
