Add support for the Doomsday Clock world threat assessment index from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Sensor state card and details popup.

Description 🕚

The Doomsday Clock helps monitor how close humanity is to a man-made global catastrophe, its own destruction if you will, either through nuclear war or climate change. Useful in case egocentric psychopaths keep on playing Russian roulette with humanity's future. Makes a great addition to your fallout shelter's Home Assistant build! 😱

The clock doesn't change often, at most once a year, and offers no API. Since we rely on web scraping of TheBulletin.org the component has a goodwill throttle of 6 hours (21,600 seconds), but it would be best to set the scan interval for the sensor to 1 day (86,400 seconds) or more.
