TITLE: Scientists move Doomsday Clock ahead by 30 seconds, closest to apocalypse since 1953 – “As of today, it is two minutes to midnight”
SENTENCE 1: This year, leaders and citizens of the world can move the Doomsday Clock and the world away from the metaphorical midnight of global catastrophe by taking common-sense action.” Robert Rosner, William E. Wrather Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Physics at the University of Chicago, and chair, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board, said: “We hope this resetting of the Clock will be interpreted exactly as it is meant—as an urgent warning of global danger.
SENTENCE 2: “As of today,” Bulletin president Rachel Bronson told reporters, “it is two minutes to midnight.” In moving the clock 30 seconds closer to the hour of the apocalypse, the group cited “the failure of President Trump and other world leaders to deal with looming threats of nuclear war and climate change.” The organization — whose board includes 15 Nobel Laureates — now believes “the world is not only more dangerous now than it was a year ago; it is as threatening as it has been since World War II,” Bulletin officials Lawrence M. Krauss and Robert Rosner wrote in an op-ed published Thursday by The Washington Post.
SENTENCE 3: [more]  The Doomsday Clock just moved: It’s now 2 minutes to ‘midnight,’ the symbolic hour of the apocalypse  By Lawrence Krauss and Robert Rosner  25 January 2018  (The Washington Post) – Days after Donald Trump took the oath of office, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reset the Doomsday Clock to 2½ minutes to midnight, in part because of destabilizing comments and threats from America’s new commander in chief.

Bias label: moderately
Annotator rationales:
If you suggest that avoiding global catastrophe requires only 'common-sense action,' then you risk oversimplifying the complexity of addressing nuclear threats and climate change, which often involve political, economic, and social challenges.
If you frame the Doomsday Clock reset as merely an 'urgent warning,' then you risk downplaying the severity of the threats and the need for immediate, concrete action rather than passive acknowledgment.
If you describe the Doomsday Clock as moving closer to 'the hour of the apocalypse,' then you risk evoking fear and sensationalism without providing actionable steps to address the threats.
If you single out President Trump and other leaders for failing to address global threats, then you risk perpetuating a narrative that assigns blame without acknowledging systemic factors like geopolitical tensions or economic constraints.
If you frame current threats through the lens of World War II, then you risk overshadowing the unprecedented and long-term nature of modern dangers, such as irreversible environmental damage or the potential for accidental nuclear war.
If you attribute the resetting of the Doomsday Clock primarily to the actions of a single leader, then you risk oversimplifying the broader geopolitical and environmental factors contributing to global threats.
