I never understood that thing. Didn't those scientists set it back a minute when we 'won' the first Iraq War?

The Doomsday Clock Is Reset:
Closest To Midnight Since The 1950sSource: NPR

The minute hand on the Doomsday Clock ticked closer to midnight Thursday, as the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said it's seeing an increase in dangers to humanity, from climate change to nuclear warfare. The group took the "unprecedented" step of moving the clock 30 seconds closer to midnight, to leave it at 2 1/2 minutes away.

The setting is the closest the clock has come to midnight since 1953, when scientists moved it to two minutes from midnight after seeing both the U.S. and the Soviet Union test hydrogen bombs. It remained at that mark until 1960.

Which is based on more science, this clock or global warming? Maybe the better question is which one has less science.............
