On Tuesday, scientists determined that the Doomsday Clock needed to be move forward, making it one step closer to "midnight", or the end of humankind. This was done because states are not addressing necessary problems, such as addressing nuclear proliferation, climate change and other threats to the earth. The current position is now at 11:55, 5 minutes from midnight. Some researches are saying that this is an outdated model of the world and needs to be disregarded while others say that is still relevant. The article outlines some recommendations that key states such as China and the United States can do to help prevent any more damage from occuring to Earth.
