100 Seconds to Midnight?

For the third consecutive year, the expert panel on the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, have set the time of its Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds before midnight (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/20/doomsday-clock-holds-at-100-seconds-to-midnight). The Doomsday Clock was set up by scientists who wanted to provide a graphic illustration of the proximity of Homo sapiens to extinction. The Doomsday Clock is currently closer to midnight than at any other time in its 75 year existence. It's closer to midnight even than at the time of the Cuban missile crisis. The Cuban missile crisis was in 1962. At this time, nuclear war between the US and the then Soviet Union seemed imminent. The current closeness to midnight appears to be linked to a combination of proliferating nuclear weapons; the climate crisis and the existence of a number of biological threats. It's almost as if humans like living on the edge?
