Opinion: We must keep Doomsday Clock from striking midnight

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • January 24, 2023

The Doomsday Clock was reset on Tuesday to 90 seconds to midnight. But today the challenges it records are not only the threat of nuclear war, but also climate change, artificial intelligence and more. We are experiencing extreme weather caused by the warming planet. Decisions produced by artificial intelligence affect our world and economy in ways not fully understood. These risks are of our own making. How do we change the world to have more time? We believe we can change. We can and we must push back the Doomsday Clock. Change is possible. ~ Geoff Gratwick and Douglas Dransfield, Physicians for Social Responsibility
