    How close are we to self-destruction? It has been 2 minutes to midnight since 2018. The #DoomsdayClock is used to illustrate threats to humanity & the planet. Every year, these extinction-level threats are assessed & a time is announced. bit.ly/DoomsdayClock2…

    COVID-19 has cost the US around $4 trillion. The US spent $8 trillion on the war on terror. Given COVID has now killed over a million US citizens, the investment in #pandemic preparedness should be considerably higher. bit.ly/3Dy2DBS

    The #DoomsdayClock has been reset 23 times since its debut in 1947. Most recently, in 2018, it moved to 2 minutes to midnight—the closest humanity has ever been to self-destruction. bit.ly/DoomsdayClock2…

    The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project. They created the #DoomsdayClock two years later.
