Guterres reportedly referenced the "Doomsday Clock,"
which represents humanity's threat of facing global
catastrophe by the amount of time to midnight.
This year, the clock now sits at 90 seconds to midnight,
ten seconds closer than it was in January of 2020,
and the closest it has been since its creation in 1947.
