The "Doomsday Clock" practitioners are so excited to find anybody listening to them, that they have plastered articles all over the media again. So eager to get their fancied "warnings" out, that they are crowing that their "clock" is showing that we are five minutes from utter destruction... while displaying a clock whose hands indicate three or four minutes till.
But with so few conservatives in office to blame, they are throwing in a new twist: The "dangers" from "Global Warming" have now been added to their fears. And since 2012 is being touted as the hottest year ever, they have discarded the "Climate Change" phrase and gone back to "Global warming" again. Probably at least until Al Jazeera Gore gets a few more Global-Warming meetings cancelled by snow.
While climate obviously does change, sometimes hotter, sometimes cooler, these people are making sure we all "know" just how eeeevil Man has been in causing these changes - with the usual complete lack of any study proving any link between human activity and whatever change they're pointing to this week.
Who knew that they had moved the hands of the clock back when Obama took office, due to his programs that had reduced Global Whatever... or at least his announcements that they would do that? They don't seem to make any connection between his term in office and the hottest year on record, though they tout both in practically the same breath.
Perhaps these strange people are giving Obama credit due to the same programs and results that earned him the Nobel Peace prize...?
The funniest part is where, after displaying the usual unmatched paranoia, piously forwarding kooky fairly tales a sixth grader could see through, and making nearly every mistake possible in announcements like this, they refer to themselves as "scientists".

The hands of the infamous "Doomsday Clock" will remain firmly in their place at five minutes to midnight — symbolizing humans' destruction — for the year 2013, scientists announced today (Jan. 14).
Keeping their outlook for the future of humanity quite dim, the group of scientists also wrote an open letter to President Barack Obama, urging him to partner with other global leaders to act on climate change.

In making their deliberations about how to update the clock's time this year, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists considered the current state of nuclear arsenals around the globe,
I wonder if they took into account the programs in Iran and North Korea to develop nuclear weapons?

Did they also take into account Obama's systematic weakening of the U.S. Military, and the resulting tendency of other countries to act more aggressively toward their neighbors since the U.S. is less able to respond?
I'll worry more about brown shirted thugs breaking down peoples doors and taking their guns than I will about global warming.
Maybe they'll uses one manufactured crisis as a diversion to cover up passing oderous new laws of another manufactured crisis.

Mass shootings are not a manufactured crisis, they are very real.
Unfortunately, gun bans, waiting periods, magazine restrictions will not reduce them. These things have all been tried, and the mass shootings kept right on going through the bans and restrictions. The only thing that hasd ever stopped or reduced them, is law-abiding people with guns showing up - civilians or cops have been equally effective.
But that's the one thing the liberals dare not try. They keeping re-doing the same failed policies, hoping it will somehow be different next time.

Do you think we can afford this present military? If you do you are in complete denial of what is happening in the country.
We have to look at all expenses. Thanks to your beloved Reagan who gutted America's manufacturing industry.
Certainly, if government would confine its activities to those authorized by that antique document that created it.
