How The Doomsday Clock Measures The Risks Of Climate Change

The Doomsday Clock symbolizes how close humanity is to catastrophic destruction due to our own technologies. Initially focused on nuclear war, it now also considers climate change risks. The clock's updates reflect both environmental threats and societal responses. Actions like the Paris Agreement have temporarily moved the clock back, while setbacks like the US withdrawal from the agreement have pushed it closer to midnight. Currently, the clock is at 100 seconds to midnight, the closest ever, highlighting the urgent need for political and social action to address climate change.
