Do you think we are going to experience terrible natural distasters in the year 2012?

Question

so a group of scientist got together and knew that the suns wheather effects our own. What they didn't know is that all of the recent natural disasters(bad ones) hurric katrina etc occured when the sun was acting up.

so they descided to look into the year 2012 since the worlds calenders all point to that one day as well....just being a bad day for humans.(those calenders also predicted huric katrina etc).

so they started puting math to it observeing the sun etc... they predicted that infact in the year 2012 will be the worst storms on the sun therefore the worst sotrms on earth (even a chance of the axis tipping...).

this is fact or atleast it was presented on tv by the scientists

jw what you guys thought about this?

Answer 1

Meteorologists have a hard enough time predicting weather more than a couple of days in advance. What makes you think a prediction for the next decade is reliable?

Answer 2

whatever happens in 2012 is a issue of debate

but i personally feel that it is not gonna happen

i dont care abt being hit by a quake or something

i just live my life king size

whatever's my destiny

i'll have to face it

so i njoy

and u should too njoy

Answer 3

YES NATURAL DISASTERS WILL BE MORE OFTEN

Answer 4

the sun doesn't have weather, it doesn't even have an atmosphere so it can't have weather

Answer 5

Yeah yeah yeah, if it happens, it happens.  And Y2K was doom and gloom for computers and Christianity.

As for computer programs predicting the future, use weather forecasts as a reference.  We can guess-timate weather based upon trends, but there are forecasts which are wrong. We have all sorts of world-wide monitoring equipment, so the models have accurate data, but effects of things like El Niño are barely understood.

Computers and computer simulations are always improving so the models are getting better, but predicting future weather is difficult due to the complexity of the problem.

So the sun.  We have no sensors on the sun and our knowledge is based upon observation.  We cannot predict sunspot activity and do not understand it's effect.  We attempt to quantify it via a 11 year cycle, but there are exceptions.  There may be correlation between the weather and sunspot activity, but it is difficult to blame disasters on the sun (earth quakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc).

So some scientists predicting that we will experience terrible natural disasters in 2012 due to sun activity is a bit far-fetched. 8)

edit...

At most, I am waxing poetically.  If you don't like my response, give it a thumb's down.  I stand by what I have posted.

Take the 2006 hurricane predictions as an example.  Predictions were high, but reality was a below average hurricane year.  Reasons attributed to strong El Niño.  

So predictions have a long way to go to achieve accurate predictions on earth.

If you believe it will be worse, then every natural disaster will affirm your belief, but it is only significant if it is statistically significant as compared to other years.
