The world takes another step towards the apocalypse

Every year, a panel of scientists and specialists tells us how much is left for the end of the world. He does it symbolically, with a clock about to reach the abyss, midnight: the indicator is the minutes that are missing for that moment. And today we are very close, just two and a half minutes to the apocalypse, according to this group that includes 15 Nobel prizes. Those responsible for the group have advanced 30 seconds towards 0.00 hours. We have never been so close to the destruction of humanity since 1953, when the US and the USSR put on Earth their first thermonuclear bombs, with a destructive capacity unknown until now.

At that moment, humanity was two minutes from its end. The thermonuclear bomb of our time is not the product of the Cold War but a much hotter phenomenon: the verbiage of Donald Trump and global warming. "Words matter, not as much as the facts, but they matter a lot," said a spokeswoman for the panel before announcing the new situation. The worrying words refer to Trump's suggestions that Japan should have atomic weapons to deal with the threat from North Korea.separador steemit.png


The world had been stopped for three years at three minutes from the fateful hour, the same time as in 1984 - the second worst crisis in the history of this clock - when the two superpowers broke relations and a new peak was reached in the atomic arsenal while another escalation of rearmament was coming. Curiously, in 1987 it was Donald Trump who promoted the disarmament of the US and the USSR. Today, he is the problem facing the planet. In December, as president-elect, Trump assured that his country should strengthen its nuclear capacity until the world recovers the meaning of these weapons.
