Doomsday Clock Nears Midnight: How The Climate Contributes
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses the latest update to the Doomsday Clock, now set at 89 seconds to midnight. Created by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, the clock serves as a warning of impending global catastrophe. One major factor pushing the clock closer to midnight is climate change, which could make large parts of the planet uninhabitable within decades. By 2035, an estimated 2 billion people may be displaced due to extreme weather and rising sea levels, leading to wars and global instability. As the climate crisis worsens, it is now directly influencing the countdown to humanity’s potential collapse.
