Doomsday Clock moves one minute closer to midnight

The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic gauge of nuclear danger, has moved one minute closer to midnight because of "inadequate progress" on nuclear and climate issues.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) announced the move - to five minutes before midnight - on Tuesday.

The clock last moved one minute back in 2010.

BAS said the failure of multiple nations to control the spread of nuclear weapons was a cause for worry.

The group, which created the clock in 1947, said that two years ago it believed world leaders were trying to address global threat issues.

"In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed," it said in a statement to explain the change.

You should realise I'm always first with the bad news even when you are late?

You been fiddling with that clock, Crumple...?

I saw this item on the BBC web site and I made a bet with myself for a million pounds Crumple would have posted this by now.

I owe myself a million quid and I haven't even read his post (he is my only 'foe' on the forum).

Nice to know some people are so predictable..I suppose. Well maybe not actually.

Good thing we had that moment in 2008, when the oceans began to recede, otherwise we'd be in real trouble.

And, thank fuck the world likes the US better, then things on the nuclear side of things would be a lot worse.

Nuclear science is a health risk even if you study it through books.

Iran car explosion 'kills nuclear scientist' in Tehran

A university lecturer and nuclear scientist has been killed in a car explosion in north Tehran, reports say.

Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, an academic who also worked at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, and another unidentified person were killed in the attack.

The blast happened after a motorcyclist stuck an apparent bomb to the car.

Several Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated in recent years, with Iran blaming Israel and the US.

(continued, he studied nuclear science but his future is no longer bright?)

"Iran car explosion?" No space for "Iranian?"

The greatest and most dangerous false belief is manifest destiny, and yet people are lost without it.
