Page 6A NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Wednesday, January 27, 2016 Doomsday clock stalls, still ‘3 minutes’ until cataclysm Disappearance of Bolivia’s No. 2 lake a harbinger PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) — Rising tension between Russia and the U.S., North Korea’s recent nuclear test and a lack of aggressive steps to address climate change are putting the world under grave threat, scientists behind a “Doomsday Clock” that measures the likeli- hood of a global cataclysm said Tuesday. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that the minute hand on the metaphorical clock remained at three minutes- to-midnight. The clock reÀects how vulnerable the world is to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate change and new technologies, with midnight symbolizing apocalypse. “Unless we change the way we think, humanity remains in serious danger,” said Lawrence Krauss, chair of the bulletin’s Board of Sponsors. Krauss said the Iran nuclear agreement and Paris climate accord were good news. But the good news was offset by nuclear UNTAVI, Bolivia (AP) — Overturned ¿shing skiffs lie abandoned on the shores of what was Bolivia’s second-largest lake. Beetles dine on bird carcasses under a glaring sun in what marshes remain. Lake Poopo was of¿cially declared evapo- rated last month. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have lost their livelihoods and gone. High on Bolivia’s semi-arid Andean plains at more than 12,000 feet and long subject to climatic whims, the shallow saline lake has essentially dried up before only to rebound to twice the area of Los Angeles. But recovery may no longer be possible, scientists say. “This is a picture of the future of climate change,” says Dirk Hoffman, a German glaci- ologist who studies how rising temperatures from the burning of fossil fuels has acceler- ated glacial melting in Bolivia. As Andean glaciers disappear so do the sources of Poopo’s water. But other factors are in play in the demise of Bolivia’s second- largest body of water behind Lake Titicaca. Drought caused by the recurrent El Nino meteorological phenomenon is considered the main driver. Authorities say another factor is the diversion of water from Poopo’s tributaries, mostly for mining but also for agriculture.

The scientists behind the bulletin adjusted the clock from Television > Today’s highlights ¿ve minutes-to-midnight to three minutes-to-midnight last year, the closest to midnight it has been since 1983. They cited climate change, modernization of nuclear weapons and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals as “extraordinary and undeniable Wednesday Morning 6 AM PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX STATION 6:30 Friends AgDay Good Day Oregon at 6 News News KOIN 6 News at 6 a.m. Wake Up Northwest KGW News at Sunrise Northwest Northwest KATU News Morning Stretch W.L.Yoga (31) KTNW (59) OPB 13 Yoga/Yoga Wild Kratts 11 KPTV 3 (19) KEPR 2 KOIN 19 (25) KNDU 6 KGW 8 (42) KVEW 4 KATU 5 (11) KFFX 7 AM threats to the continued existence of humanity.” California Gov. Jerry Brown joined former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz and former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry for a discussion at Stanford University after the unveiling of the clock. Perry raised concerns about rhetoric from Russia about the use of nuclear weapons and said the threat of nuclear disaster was greater today than during the Cold War. Shultz said the U.S. needs to engage Russia and China. Brown warned about “tipping points” in the ¿ght against climate change. “And around a tipping point, we may not be able to come back to a stable planet or one we’ll ¿nd very comfortable to live in,” he said. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scien- tists who helped develop the ¿rst atomic weapons. The clock was created two years later.
