Doomsday Clock to Change...
First of all, do you know about the Doomsday Clock? Here's some background. In 1947, a group called "The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists" created it. It was a way of reminding the world just how close we are to total annihilation . . . thanks to the invention of the ATOMIC BOMB. The closer the clock gets to Midnight the worse off we are.
The Doomsday Clock started at SEVEN minutes to midnight. And over the years it's been changed a total of 18 times.
Here's why you should know this... Tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., the Doomsday Clock will be changed once again. And this time, you can watch it happen live online.
Right now, the Doomsday Clock is at FIVE minutes to midnight. It's unclear which direction it will be moved, but officials say the factors influencing the change include:
-International negotiations on nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation
-Expansion of civilian nuclear power and the possibilities of nuclear terrorism, and . . .
-Climate change
The closest it's ever gotten to midnight was in 1953 when it was changed to two minutes 'til. That was after the U.S. and Russia each tested NUKES within a few months of each other.
