Is It So Bad ?? The Hands Of The Clock ...

Tick , Tock , Tick , Tock .. The Doomsday Clock has been moved , 2 minutes forward , and now at 11.57 pm , it is within 3 minutes to Midnight , which signify's a Global Catastrophe . The Atomic Scientists decided to move the Clock hands forward , because this is the closest time , we have ever been to a disaster in decades . The last time the clock was this close it was in 1984 .
The Physicists  set up the Doomsday clock in 1947 , after the atomic bombs hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War 2 . The Clock was created to convey threats to humanity and the planet .The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists ( BAS ) said the threat of Climate Change and Nuclear War , posed a very serious threat to modern society .
BAS want to see action taken to cap greenhouse gases to 2 C above pre-industrial levels , and reduce spending on nuclear weapons . They definitely don't think it's too late , but the "window for action  is rapidly closing " The world needs to awaken from it's lethargy . Moving the clock  hand forward , inspires changes , to help push the process along .
Since this clock was set up , the hand has been moved 18 times , and each move represents how the scientists , view the world's chances of survival in the face of these threats .
The last time it was moved was in January 2012 to five minutes to midnight , BAS believed the world had entered the second nuclear age .
Now Climate Change poses a severe threat , Food shortages are going to get worse . Crop yields have decreased in the last 40 years . Violent conflict may be triggered as a result .Fights over resources like water and energy , hunger and extreme weather will all go into the mix to de-stabilise the world . Gap between the rich and poor will widen , poor people are going to bear , the unfair burden of climate change . Everything is going to make it harder for people to fight their way out of poverty .
Recent attacks in France , could be one of the reasons for moving the clock"s minute hand forward .

In the word's of Chicken Little " The Sky Is Falling ! "

As I say a little prayer ,and hope God looks down favorably on us , I hope each one of you join me with your own . Keep smiling and things will improve , if governments do something positive , and forget about increasing their own wages .

#Peace & Love
