NPR reports that the metaphorical measure of challenges facing humanity has now moved closer to widespread calamity than ever before.

According to the scientific body, the decision was made "largely though not exclusively" to Russia's war in Ukraine.

Each January, the group evaluates the state of the world and updates the clock accordingly.

In 2020, the clock was set to 100 seconds to midnight and was the first time the clock was counted in seconds rather than minutes.

At the time, the scientific group, warned that humanity was, "at doom's doorstep.".

In 2021 and 2022, the clock remained at, 100 seconds to midnight.

However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the global ramifications of its aggression have inched humanity ten metaphorical seconds closer to annhilation.

The Doomsday Clock is sounding an alarm for the whole of humanity.

We are on the brink of a precipice.

But our leaders are not acting at sufficient speed or scale to secure a peaceful and livable planet, Science and security board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, via NPR.

Trump SURPRISING First Reaction to First American Pope, Calls It ‘Great Honor’ Despite Past Tensions

Donald Trump called it a “Great Honor” as Robert Prevost became the first American pope, taking the name Leo XIV. The 69-year-old former Chicago bishop's election stunned the world and thrilled the U.S. But past tensions linger — Leo XIV previously criticized U.S. leaders, including Vice President JD Vance. Trump, however, welcomed the election warmly, writing on Truth Social that he looks forward to meeting the new pope. The moment marks a historic first for the Vatican and the United States, but political undertones remain impossible to ignore. #Trump #PopeLeoXIV #RobertPrevost #AmericanPope #VaticanNews #CatholicChurch #TruthSocial #TrumpPope #PopeElection #LeoXIV #JDVance #ReligionAndPolitics #Trump2025 #PapalNews #PopeHistory #Christianity #VaticanCity #PapalTransition #PopeTrumpMeeting #USVaticanTies ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.124~
