På onsdag e.m ställs den omtalade klockan som installerades 1947 om.

Klockan installerades 1947. Den är en markering av hur nära
experterna bedömmer jordens undergång i relation till den
tidiga efterkrigstidens kärnvapenhot.
Sedan dess har tiden justerats 17 gånger. Att den ändras nu
beror på de förvärrade kärnvapen- och miljöhoten.
The major new step reflects growing concerns about a 'Second
Nuclear Age' marked by grave threats, including: nuclear
ambitions in Iran and North Korea, unsecured nuclear materials
in Russia and elsewhere, the continuing 'launch-ready' status
of 2,000 of the 25,000 nuclear weapons held by the U.S. and
Russia, escalating terrorism, and new pressure from climate
change for expanded civilian nuclear power that could increase
proliferation risks," said a news release from the group.
