Register today for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ annual Clock Symposium. Over the last 68 years, the Bulletin has reset the minute hand on their iconic Doomsday Clock 21 times, most recently in January, 2015, when the Clock moved from five minutes to midnight to three. Existential threats resulting from a rapidly changing climate figured heavily into the Clock change last year, and the Symposium this year puts climate change front and center. You won’t want to miss the points made by Sivan Kartha, Peter Ogden, Richard Somerville, and Robert Socolow as they discuss the Paris climate negotiations and energy solutions for a warming planet.
The Symposium is free and open to the public.
