3 minutes to midnight

2015: "Unchecked climate change, global nuclear weapons modernizations,
and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable
threats to the continued existence of humanity, and world leaders have
failed to act with the speed or on the scale required to protect
citizens from potential catastrophe. These failures of political
leadership endanger every person on Earth.” Despite some modestly
positive developments in the climate change arena, current efforts are
entirely insufficient to prevent a catastrophic warming of Earth.
Meanwhile, the United States and Russia have embarked on massive
programs to modernize their nuclear triads—thereby undermining existing
nuclear weapons treaties. "The clock ticks now at just three minutes to
midnight because international leaders are failing to perform their most
important duty—ensuring and preserving the health and vitality of human
civilization."
