Doomsday Clock
Is there any more serious of a publicity stunt than the Doomsday Clock and its prediction of nuclear war? It is not new but The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists' intent is deadly serious as the news story states.
"Starting in 1947, the advocacy group used a clock to symbolize the potential and even likelihood of people doing something to end humanity. After the end of the Cold War, it was as close as 17 minutes to midnight. In the past few years, to address rapid global changes, the group has changed from counting down the minutes until midnight to counting down the seconds."
The unknown is whether anyone is paying attention to it or whether it has become passé.
