Mikhail Gorbachev: World In ‘Colossal Danger’ - BBC News

Such an important interview. Truly, we must destroy all nuclear weapons. And we must embrace radical changes to address the climate emergency. The threats of nuclear war and inaction on the climate and ecological crises have brought the Doomsday Clock to two minutes before midnight. There is an imperative that we are conscious of this and united in addressing these threats to life on Earth in every way humanly possible. — Molly
