That is strictly speaking correct - but on the other hand, there's a reason why the "doomsday clock" is maintained by the members of the "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists": it was specifically invented to represent "an analogy for the threat of global nuclear war" (in Wikipedia's words). Indeed, since 2007 it may also reflect the danger of climate change, but the threat of a global nuclear WW3 has always been and will always be the main threat reflected by the doomsday clock.
