The Doomsday Clock is located at the offices of The Bulletin, 1307 E 60th St, in the lobby of the Keller Center, home to the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago.
Members of The Bulletin have continually emphasized that the clock is not meant to scare people, but rather to trigger action. Originally, the Doomsday Clock's countdown referred to nuclear weapons, but now there is another threat in the form of climate change.
4. How to Read the Doomsday Clock?
As quoted from the BBC Future report, the Doomsday Clock will show the level of risk that humanity is currently facing. In 2003, cosmologist and astronomer Martin Rees argued that the odds were no more than 50:50 that the current civilization on Earth, would survive until the end of this century.
However, SJ Beard in the same report distinguished that the movement of the Doomsday Clock is somewhat different. Its purpose is not to tell how much risk humanity faces, but how well humans respond to that risk.
