Since 1947 a magazine called the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has kept the “Doomsday Clock,” a symbolic clock that shows how close we are to global catastrophe. So how close are we to the end of the world? One thing leads to another, and then you have Armageddon. Speaking of all the trouble in the world, Pope Francis said, “World War III has begun, piecemeal.” We know what he means: a battle here, an outbreak there, a terrorist attack in a big city, a revolution in the Middle East, and the relentless spread of nuclear weapons. No one can say with certainty where the next world war will begin, but the author suggests Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific as the most likely flashpoints. The article notes that both world wars in the 20 th century were unanticipated. I noticed this recent headline from The Independent: World War 3 is Coming. A high-level North Korean defector says that the dictator Kim Jong Un is desperate to maintain his power and is prepared to use nuclear weapons against the US and its allies. Experts tell us North Korea has developed a nuclear warhead and is actively experimenting with rockets capable of reaching the United States. In some ways, the danger seems greater now than then. Should we still be worried today? The danger seems greater today After the nukes have been launched, society is destroyed, and billions are dead.
It terrified many people with its graphic description of a world gone over the edge. He predicted utter catastrophe through global nuclear war.
Jonathan Schell made a splash when he wrote The Fate of the Earth in 1982. It depends on what you mean, and it depends on who you ask.
