Who believes in the 2012 Apocalypse theory? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Doomsday_Prediction)

The Mayan Calendar ends on the 21st December 2012 and the Aztec's also ends in 2012. So, do you believe that end of the world will be in 2012?

I don't. There have been tons of doomsday prophecies throughout the years, like in 1500 and Y2K. They didn't come true, and there's an extremely good chance that this won't happen either. There aren't even any valid theories about what could cause it .

Also that date isn't certain anyway. Some say it translates to the 20th, some say December in general, and more just say sometime in 2012.

Durer created this self-portrait because he was afraid the world was about to end and wanted to appear pious.

But then could global warming, an increasing problem, help to eradicate the human race?

It could, eventually, but not by 2012. Global warming is a major threat to humanity, but really it's not as immediate as most think. The things we're doing to the environment are like a snowball effect, and sometime a couple generations down the road is when it's gonna really affect people.

So, yes, it could eradicate humans in the future, but not likely by 2012.

Lol. Funny, but not what I'm looking for.

Their calendar is set in a "cycle" format. The end of the cycle is meant to be Dec 21 2012.

@cjd how can that not be what you are looking for? You are asking an opinion question and everyone on Mahalo has their own opinion which no one can say is wrong...

@cjd: But this is exactly what the Mayans and Aztecs would do. They just aren't around to construct a new calendar. This doesn't mean that it's the end of the world. If it did... every year people would think that the world would come to an end...

Just because a calendar ends doesn't mean that the world ends. It just means we need to make a new calendar.

It is not becase the Mayan calender ends on that particular date, it is because the earth itself is due for a polar shift on that exact date. Just as the sun had a polar shift a couple of months ago, reversing the north and south poles, the earth also does the same thing and scientists know his has happened in the long ago past. As this date approaches there are more and much stronger solar flares and gamma bursts which upsets the magentic field around the earth, this also may have something to do with the pace of global warming. This has been talked about on various news stations. Whether there will be a partial or complete reversal seems to be unknown but either way the effects on this planet will be almost total devastation. Go to 2012 and look at the trailer of a movie coming out in Nov. about this subject.
