WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The scientists who mind the Doomsday Clock moved it two minutes closer to midnight on Wednesday -- symbolizing the annihilation of civilization and adding the perils of global warming for the first time.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which created the Doomsday Clock in 1947 to warn the world of the dangers of nuclear weapons, advanced the clock to five minutes until midnight. It was the first adjustment of the clock since 2002.
Congratulations all arms dealers and warmongers, what'll they do with the money they got once the world is left a waste of nuclear fire and dust.

Well if nothing comes of the latest round of talks with N Korea then I can foresee a hefty war starting. The US has already moved its Stealth bombers into position.

North Korea Condemns Deployment of U.S. Stealths
NewsMax.com Wires
Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2007
SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea on Saturday condemned the deployment of U.S. stealth fighters in South Korea as an act of aggression aimed at launching war against the communist country.
A squadron of F-117A Nighthawk warplanes and some 300 airmen from Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico arrived in South Korea earlier this week for routine training. The deployment typically lasts four months.
It is the fourth time such stealth fighters have been sent to South Korea since 2003, the U.S. military said.
The U.S. deployment of the stealth aircraft, which are designed to avoid detection by radar, is "aimed at putting its scenario for a war against (North Korea) into practice," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland said Saturday in a statement.
The United States is "driving the situation to the brink of war through their reckless arms buildup and military provocations," the committee said in the statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
North Korea commonly issues such bellicose statements, accusing the U.S. of planning to attack the communist regime. Washington denies of any intention to invade the North.

Shame really. I find it funny how governments don't do anything to reverse what we've done. Global warming is pretty serious, on top of the other things likes nuclear wars.
Ironically, it would be cheaper in the long term to reverse global warming than to hold back due to economical losses caused by cutting back on greenhouse gas production.

@lastic - As I've seen the report in CNN yesterday . . . the clock was adjusted to - 5 minutes. The closest the clock was adjust was in 1953, when it was at the peak of the HEAT between US and USSR with their NUKES . . the time was set at 2 minutes to midnight.
