The scientists who set the doomsday clock seem to think different; the doomsday clock has never been closer to "midnight"/"doomsday" than it is now (=2 minutes to midnight).

Even during the cuba crisis, it was at only 7 minutes to midnight - and just two months after the cuba crisis, it was even further set back to 12 minutes to midnight.

Even in 1984, when WW3 seemed closer than ever, and nuclear armed soviet bombers were on high alert, constantly running and ready for immediate take-off, the clock was further from midnight/doomsday (3 minutes to midnight).

And there are also quite a few other experts right now saying that the current situation is more dangerous than it has ever been.

And the fact that Obama secretly built a "5-story-deep doomsday bunker" under the White House west wing also speaks for itself I guess.

Seriously, guys, we're living in extremely dangerous times. I envy everyone who, unlike me, does not have to live near a US military base...

The doomsday clock isn't only about WW3 though, so saying that WW3 is closer because we're closer to midnight is wrong. 

Yes for example global warming and terrorist groups are really scary right now.
