January 2023 - Andy Revkin And The Doomsday Clock

Prize winning environment journalist Andy Revkin reflects upon the Doomsday Clock.

I just received a great article from substacker Andy Revkin regarding the Doomsday Clock operated by the Bulletin Of Atomic Scientists. Revkin has been writing about the relationship between technology and the environment for 40 years, and his blog is a good choice for your inbox.

Revkin asks good questions about The Clock. Do we think The Clock is a useful gauge of existential risk? Should we move beyond The Clock? How might we change it?

Revkin is starting a conversation on how we can respond to these challenges as individuals. I offered one answer in the comment section.

Also, see the brand new article on The Clock from nuclear weapons expert Jon Wolfsthal. My reply to his article is found here.
