  1. 'Earth is this tiny, irrelevant speck. If we blow ourselves up, the universe is not going to save us. Which means it’s up to us, right?' Daniel Holz, the University of Chicago astrophysicist who is the chair of the Bulletin’s science and security board. theguardian.com/science/2026/m #nuclearweapons #climate #AI #doomsday #doomsdayclock ⏰️🌏

  2. A continuing voice of reason in our time. We must move toward the good of the many outweighing the good of the few if we're going to survive as a species.

    This, from Antonio Guterres via The Guardian:

    ...critics argue that endless, indiscriminate growth on a planet with finite resources is driving not only the climate and nature crisis but increasing inequality.

    Guterres said: “Moving beyond gross domestic product is about measuring the things that really matter to people and their communities. GDP tells us the cost of everything, and the value of nothing. Our world is not a gigantic corporation. Financial decisions should be based on more than a snapshot of profit and loss.”

  3. Like #EarthOvershootDay the #DoomsdayClock is a metric driven by good intentions but done with a questionable methodology. Where Overshoot Day fails to capture huge problems like species extinction, there’s no scientific method what a second or hour on that “clock” means. Climate change, cited in the current decision to move the clock four seconds forward, will lead to long-lasting suffering by billions, but not human extinction. There are better metrics, like #PlanetaryBoundaries.

    Hinzu kommt, dass die #doomsdayclock uns keine wahl lässt.
