(Reuters) - The symbolic Doomsday Clock calculated by a group of scientists was moved a minute closer to midnight on Tuesday, with the group citing inadequate progress on nuclear weapons reduction and climate change.

The clock was moved to five minutes to midnight, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said, the first adjustment since the beginning of 2010, when it was moved back one minute to six minutes from midnight -- or "doomsday".

"Two years ago, it appeared that world leaders might address the truly global threats that we face. In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed," the group said in a statement.

The Bulletin (www.thebulletin.org) is a periodical founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who had helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project.

1. You know, IF there was any validity to this clock...

It would appear in news pictures in flames.
The clock is broken- we are SO past midnight.

3. Climate change is the new "nuclear war"

Climate change will kill off people just as effectively as
any nuclear war. TPTB know this and have prepared.
To hell with the rest of us.
Climate change could very well be the catalyst for the use of
nuclear weapons.
And let's not forget the nuclear toxins released by Fucked-up-shima in Japan
that no one talks about.
