Futures Showing Green -- 5:49 P.M. CT -- December 22, 2019

How 'bout them Cowboys? LOL. A "playoff" game of sorts; a win would have given them a division win, but not to be. Another Cowboys loss. And we move on.

Global warming: I assume as of January 1, 2020, we will have only eleven years left. Speaking of which, the Doomsday Clock says it is two minutes to midnight but as far as I know, we've never had a "global warming" clock. Oh, but I'm wrong, the "Doomsday Clock" now incorporates two existential threats: nuclear weapons and global warming. It never ends. By the way, at the linked site, most links there are back to CNN.

The Doomsday Clock says it’s almost the end of the world as we know it. (And that’s not fine.)

If you have anything left on your bucket list, do it now [I assume this is why the US House rushed the articles of impeachment], because the world is close to annihilation. That’s according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which gave its annual presentation of the Doomsday Clock on Thursday.

A group of scientists and scholars, including 15 Nobel laureates, set the clock at 11:58 p.m. — two minutes before the symbolic apocalyptic midnight.

Best decade in human history. Link here.
