The
Science and Security Board of the US-based Bulletin of the Atomic
Scientists has warned UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that the hand of
the Bulletin's symbolic Doomsday Clock still remains at five minutes to
midnight because "the risk of civilization-threatening technological catastrophe remains high."
The
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is an online magazine that covers
global security issues related to the dangers posed by weapons of mass
destruction and emerging technologies. It was founded in 1945 after the
US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
