Is the Doomsday Clock Accurate or Alarmist?

I have just read an article that stated that the doomsday clock is set to 3 minutes to midnight, are we really that close to total destruction?

It's just a hypothetical construct. Also, the Doomsday Clock has been modified since 2007 to also account for Global Warming so it's not just the threat of nuclear war anymore.

Sorry, we do not allow political discussions of climate change.
