January 24, 2019
Former California Governor Jerry Brown spoke at a Doomsday Clock news conference on Wednesday stating his shock over the "blindness and stupidity" of politicians in the threat of nuclear catastrophe based on the errors and close calls of the past, comparing humanity's situation to the passengers on the Titanic -- unable to see the iceberg ahead as they enjoy the elegant dining and music.
