Default Quick, Run & Hide! Doomsday Clock set forward by two minutes

http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/Top...howbyline=True

The scientists have moved the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight to reflect the growing concerns of global terrorism, the unchecked nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea and -- in a first -- the threat of climate change.
The clock was first set 60 years ago by an elite group of nuclear scientists at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, shortly after the United States dropped its atomic bombs on Japan. It was meant to symbolize the perils facing humanity from nuclear weapons.
But for the first time, the clock is also registering the threat of global warming, which they call a "second nuclear age."

During the Cold War this was big news as death seemed more imminent. Global Warming may get us but probably not today.

That is so funny, and only to people who have lived in London! Haha!

And no, Dundas East is as bad as ever.
