The Bulletin of Atomic Scientist [wiki], a global security and public policy watchdog magazine and keeper of the Doomsday Clock [wiki] has just moved it forward to 7 minutes to Midnight to reflect the worsening nuclear and climate threats to the world.

These guys never, ever knew what they were talking about. They’re atomic scientists making predictions about fields in which they are not experts – geopolitics and war. Their opinion carries no more weight than yours or mine. It would be like having an expert on insects write books on human overpopulation or an expert on linguistics lecture on economics. He or she may have a point, true, (I’m not saying that people can’t work outside their fields) but greatness in one field does not necessarily equal greatness in all fields.

I disagree – their action is symbolic and represents the growing nuclear threat from North Korea and Iran.
Lasse
And perhaps because of Israels plan to use small nukes against Iran.

Blah, blah, blah.
The Mayans have already told us 2012. What more do we need?
