On January 28, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists updated the Doomsday Clock from 90 to 89 seconds until "midnight," as world-ending threats continue escalating at

A science-oriented advocacy group says the Earth is moving closer to destruction. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said Tuesday that they've moved their “Doomsday Clock” to 89 seconds to midnight,

The Doomsday Clock now stands at 89 seconds to midnight, marking humanity’s failure to address nuclear risks, climate change, AI threats, and pandemics in 2025.

The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic measure of humanity's proximity to catastrophic destruction, has been set at 89 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been, symbolizing humanity's shortest margin from potential catastrophe since the clock's creation.

Threat level set at highest yet amid warnings of ‘pathogens with pandemic potential’ and ‘weapons for which countermeasures do not exist’

Humanity is closer to species-threatening disaster than ever before, according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, who today moved the hand of the "Doomsday Clock" to 89 seconds to midnight.

The Doomsday Clock now stands at 89 seconds to midnight, the closest to catastrophe in its nearly eight-decade history. Here's a look at how — and why — it's moved.

In a statement outlining the change, the Board highlighted three main reasons for “moving the Doomsday Clock from 90 seconds to 89 seconds to midnight.” These include ongoing nuclear risks, accelerating climate disasters, and emerging biological and technological dangers.
