The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight, indicating an increased risk of global catastrophe due to nuclear weapons, disinformation, and climate change. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists warns that powerful nations are becoming more aggressive, while climate change continues to escalate, with record-high carbon dioxide levels and extreme weather events. Despite some progress in renewable energy, efforts to phase out fossil fuels are being undermined, particularly by the Trump administration's policies. There is still hope for a shift towards green energy if political support is garnered.
