This year, the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moves the hands of the Doomsday Clock forward, largely (though not exclusively) because of the mounting dangers of the war in Ukraine.

It took 32 years since 1991 for the clock to move 8.5 minutes and as far back as 1949 it was 3 minutes till midnight. Left-wing propaganda mills aren't known for their clock-making, ask Paul Ehrlich and AOC.
