as quoted in „The Doomsday Clock“,

The symbolic clock has, according to wikipedia, been set backward and forward 22 times since then, the smallest-ever number of minutes to midnight being two (in 1953 and 2018) and the largest seventeen (in 1991). As of January 2018, the Clock is set at two minutes to midnight, due to
- global threat of nuclear war,
- the United States not being involved in world leadership roles, and
- climate change.
This setting is the Clock’s joint-closest approach to midnight since its introduction, only matched by that of 1953.

The clock design conveys the sense of urgency to get nuclear weapons under control.
It stood at a frightening two and a half minutes to midnight since january 2017
