The keepers of the so-called Doomsday Clock, which counts down to Armageddon, today moved its hands closer to midnight for the first time in four years to reflect the growing threats to mankind from nuclear proliferation and climate change.

In a ceremony hosted by the British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, the minute hand was moved forwards by two minutes to stand at five minutes to midnight - the closest it has come to midnight since the Cold War arms race of the 1980s

What a load of ********. Are these "scientists" telling us they are Gods now? Able to tell the future, including when nuclear war will happen?

Doomsday clock indeed. Anyone involved in this crapola loses all credibility in my book.

The only thing that can move it closer is Iran, Syria or Al-Quada getting nukes or really nasty bio/chemical agents

Climate change aka MMGW - just silly season in the loony bin

They are not claiming that.

What are they telling us then. I thought the clocks hands signified whether we were close to nuclear destruction or not.

When the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is 50 miles away you've been nuked

No but quite a few think it.

So at midnight all superpowers are legally obliged to blow the living **** out of each other?

mkpdavies · 18-01-2007, 10:37 PM

Yes and these scientists know when this moment is getting closer. They have special magical powers, that us mere plebs can't comprehend.

We must bow down before their superior skills and itellect. They are almost like Gods.
