The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to a perceived global catastrophe. The announcement cites nuclear weapons, climate change, and disruptive technologies as the primary drivers of existential risk. Critics dismiss the clock as a dated 1970s-era communication tool that has lost its impact on the modern public.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the "Doomsday Clock" to 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. The board cited nuclear risks, climate change, and the spread of "misinformation" as primary drivers for the move. The segment criticizes the clock as a political tool, noting that it moved closer to midnight due to Trump's intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement rather than actual nuclear threats.

Therapists identify three primary groups suffering from severe climate anxiety: frontline scientists, individuals who have suffered direct losses from natural disasters, and children. Young adults are reportedly reconsidering major life decisions, such as starting families, due to fears about the planet's future. This psychological distress is linked to historical instances of children expressing public grief over environmental policy.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to global catastrophe. Suzette McKinney of the Science and Security Board explains that the decision was influenced by the war in Ukraine, nuclear threats, biological risks, and climate change. The hosts critique the scientific validity of the clock's metrics.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds to midnight, citing climate change and nuclear proliferation. Former California Governor Jerry Brown, speaking at the event, compared himself to biblical prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah for warning of impending disaster. The hosts mock Brown as "Moonbeam" and criticize the inclusion of climate change in a nuclear-focused metric.

A report signed by 11,000 scientists worldwide warns of a catastrophic threat to humanity unless immediate action is taken on climate change. The report emphasizes a transition away from fossil fuels and identifies human population growth as a critical factor that governments must address. Skeptics compare the rhetoric to the "population bomb" theories of previous decades.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock forward to two minutes to midnight, citing nuclear risks and climate change. Simultaneously, Hillary Clinton appeared in a video thanking activists for their "feminism" and "activism," specifically addressing a group called "Bitches Supporting Bitches." The move is seen by some as an attempt to remain politically relevant ahead of the 2020 election cycle.

A controversial segment features a song about "magical shapeshifting Jews" followed by a warning about the health effects of inhaling soot and smog. The audio references the consensus among 99.5% of scientists regarding extreme weather events and rising oceans.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to two and a half minutes to midnight, the closest it has been since the 1950s. The board cited reckless language regarding nuclear weapons and a disregard for scientific expertise on climate change as primary reasons for the shift. The hosts dismiss the clock as a fear-mongering tool and reference an Iron Maiden song of the same name.

Al Gore is heard in a recording using profanity to dismiss climate change skeptics and "pseudo-scientists." The hosts discuss the context of the recording and Gore's aggressive stance on the "settled science" of man-made CO2 emissions.

Brenda Ekwurzel of the Union of Concerned Scientists appeared on MSNBC to explain how global warming is contributing to record-breaking winter snowstorms. She introduces the concept of a "new normal" where burning coal and oil "turbocharges" weather patterns. The hosts mock the terminology and the idea that increased heat leads to more extreme cold and snow.

ABC News reports on a spike in threatening emails sent to climate scientists like Michael Mann, with the FBI investigating the harassment. The news segment links climate change denial to white supremacist websites, which the hosts describe as a "Cointelpro" tactic. They argue this framing is intended to silence dissent by associating skeptics with extremist groups.
