Some people decided things are looking black based on things other people say. 🤷♂️
Is the same line used by climate change deniers and anti-vaxxers… 🤷♀️
(I’m the last person to say blindly follow or even respect authority, but this isn’t about authority, it’s about knowledge, which the people who make these decisions have significantly more of than you, or me)
Also, you’d have to have your head reaaaaaal deep up your own ass to think things are going well on this planet, it’s not as if they’re even saying anything outlandish or far fetched… 🤦♀️
I’m not going to debate this, because I’m not on either side of this debate. I’ve seen enough (valid scientific) arguments on both sides to realize that I/we simply know too little to get into it with.
I’m not a climate change denier either. The change has happened and is happening. Everyone is noticing it without having to use any measuring instruments.
Not really the point I was trying to make though anyway. I’m not from America so I don’t partake in their black-and-white type of argumentation. “Either this or that”, you know?
I’m just simply saying the doomsday clock isn’t some magical device saying “we’re fucked now guys”, but that it’s updated by humans.
I think it’s spreading fear unnecessarily by saying “LOOK AT IT, WE’RE GONNA DIE” instead of focusing on what we can do. There’s my two cents.
What the hell is this title. It’s like it’s some alien device planted here in the dawn of time and it just all of a sudden updated itself.

I’m not saying I’m not aware of it or never heard of it… That’s not my point at all.
