Guest “Let's run out of the clock!” David Middleton (David Middleton)
Surprisingly, these clowns did not clearly blame President Trump:
It is closer than ever: it is 89 seconds to midnight
In 2024, humans are getting closer to disaster. The trend of deep concern with the Science and Security Council continues. Although the signs of danger are correct, the national leaders and their society have not yet done what to change the curriculum. Therefore, we now move the end of the world from 90 seconds to 89 seconds to midnight, which is the closest to the disaster ever in history.

Regarding nuclear risks, Ukraine's war (now the third year) shrouded the world. Conflicts may be a decision at any time, and accidents or errors are estimated due to accidental decisions. The conflict of the Middle East threatened to fall into a wider war without warning.
[…]
As many indicators (including the rise in sea level and global surface temperature) exceeded the previous records, the impact of climate change increased last year.

In the field of biology, emerging and re -emerging diseases continue to threaten the world's economy, society and security. The appearance and seasonal highly pathogenic bird flu in the off -season …

Last year, one of the other series of destructive technologies to make the world develop more dangerous. Combining artificial intelligence system …
[…]
The danger we just listed has been greatly intensified: error information, false information, and the spread of conspiracy theory to reduce the communication ecosystem and become more and more blurred between truth and false.

Atomic scientist announcement
Seven paragraphs are full of “error information, false information and conspiracy theories”, followed by severe warning about spreading “error information, false information and conspiracy theory” … If I tried Segment.
Nuclear risk
[T}he conflict could become nuclear at any moment because of a rash decision or through accident or miscalculation…
That risk left the White House on January 20, 2025, right after preemptively pardoning his entire crime family.
Climate Change
Sea-level rise and global surface temperature, surpassed previous records…
According to NASA sea level has risen by 100.9 mm since 1993. That’s almost four whole inches!!! Enough to swamp four quarters or a baseball card or even a beer can!
Sea level actually receded a bit since last June…
2024 was the warmest year in the satellite era…
2024 beat the previous record by a whopping 0.4 °C. Let’s apply some scale and context::
It’s currently about 1.4 °C warmer than when “The Ice Age Cometh“…
If not for the warming allegedly caused by capitalism, it would still be just as cold now as it was in March 1975:
Seems kind of mild compared to the Cuban Missile Crisis or Soviet tanks rolling into Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan.
Pandemics and Skynet and Free Speech! Oh My!
The off-season appearance and in-season continuance of highly pathogenic avian influenza…
The price of eggs sucks! But… 89 seconds to Doomsday? Not!
Systems that incorporate artificial intelligence…
AI is a long way from Skynet I Googled my favorite garbled lyric from the Toto song Africa: “There’s nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do.” The Google AI confirmed my garbled lyric:
The actual lyric is, “There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.” Now I know how Captain Kirk was able to short circuit androids.
The dangers we have just listed are greatly exacerbated by a potent threat multiplier: the spread of misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories that degrade the communication ecosystem and increasingly blur the line between truth and falsehood.
Remember when this was a misinformation conspiracy theory that would get you banned from social media?
The Shamdemic and 2020 coup de d’état clearly demonstrated this principle:
The notion that we are much closer to Doomsday now than when we were losing the Cold War is clearly the perfect example of “the spread of misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories that degrade the communication ecosystem and increasingly blur the line between truth and falsehood.”
So… I say… Let’s run out the clock!
Let these clowns keep on crying wolf right on down to midnight. I’m pretty sure we’ll still be…
