Doomsday Clock and PeaceWorks Kansas City’s plans for 2023
Each January since 1947 the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has updated their "Doomsday Clock", summarizing how close they think the world is to the destruction of civilization in terms of minutes to midnight. The clock's original setting in 1947 was 7 minutes to midnight. Since 2020, after the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was terminated in 2019, the clock was set to 100 seconds to midnight. This clock is scheduled to be updated January 24, a few hours before this broadcast. What will the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists do with Putin's threats last year to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine?
