No big story here, but Stephen Hawking, who has previously called for manned exploration of space in an attempt to get all our eggs out of this one basket, says that global warming is a far greater threat than terrorism.  Hawking made his remarks as a coalition of scientists pushed the 'doomsday clock' (an unnecessary and extremely frightening representation of our nearness to apocalypse) forward a couple seconds closer to midnight. At the ceremony, Hawking said, "as citizens of the world, we have a duty to alert the public to the unnecessary risks that we live with every day."
