Why do people say that the world is going to end in 2012?

Question

I've heard that people say it will be global warming... what reasons have you heard?

Answer 1

Hundreds of years ago, people created the "Crossbow". They said "This will be the destruction of mankind", THERE WILL ALWAYS BE Pessimists. I`m glad they were wrong: )

Answer 2

The world is not going to end and people can't predict the future anyone who believes them is a pure dodo.

Answer 3

Planet X or Nibiru..........Pretty interesting stuff.............read & watch all about it from the below links.

It IS something we ALL need to be aware of and of course there are the "naysayers" but there is TOO much science and history on this cataclysmic event to say it isn't so.Be the judge for yourself!!

Answer 4

They have predicted that in 2012 the Colbear and Bearlister Crowley, on their way to Mt. Rushmore to do battle with Stephen Colbert, will take over a satellite and use it to broadcast a signal all over the world which activates his sleeper cells. It is also rumored that the Bear Uprising might lead to chears unleashing their h**l throughout the southwestern U.S.

THE BEAR UPRISING OF 2012 IS UPON US. WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!

Answer 5

Global warming might end the world some other time. Its just on a bunch of calenders and prophecies. We wont know for sure when the world will end, we just know it will some point in time, relax they said the world was going to end in the year 2000, but that didn't happen.

Answer 6

Maybe those people have been talking to the little voices in their heads a lot.  The world will not end for a long, long time, until the gravity of the sun reels it in...then there will be global warming !  That doggone sun anyway.......

Answer 7

That's nothing more than people allowing themselves to get caught up in the mysticism of ancient tribal folklore.  The whole concept derives from the Mayan calendar ending on December 21, 2012 even with no real reason for why it ends.  Don't worry too much about it.  I wouldn't put too much faith in a prediction of the end of world from a culture that couldn't even predict their own demise hundreds of years prior.

Answer 8

It all comes from the fact that an ancient calendar of the Mayan people that was made more than 2 thousand years ago ends then. Since that discovery lots of fear mongers who write books predicting fictional disasters like the ones written on this subject and the ones on AGW find them exceptionally profitable. For some silly reason a lot of people get high on fear which is why there are so many horror flicks for people to get excited about.

I find a good historical movie dealing with how a man with vision over came a bunch of greedy aristocrats and made the world a better place for at least a while. Unfortunately greedy aristocrats are the most difficult breed in the world to get rid of over the long haul. There is a fresh crop to harass the world every generation.

Answer 9

Because that's when the Mayan calendar ends. I think they just figured they'd keep going with their calculations when they got that far!

"Hey, guys, let's call it a night, huh?"

Answer 10

This has been going on for years,  I can remember predictions that the world was going to end in 1980, and then again in 1988, and then again in 2000, it seem that there will always be someone wanting to predict the end of the world, perhaps in the hope that one day they would be able to say i told you so.

However if you really believed that the world was going to end in 2012, or even 2009, what would you do differently?

and if there was some way that you could change it, they don't you think that you should be doing that anyway?

Answer 11

2012 was the date they descided to end their calender, they oviously couldnt countinue it on for ever like we can now!!!  

Answer 12

the world is not going to end in 2012, no matter what.  global warming is real, most of it is caused by humans, and the world will continue to go thru natural cycles but over time tending to get warmer as the sun heats up more and more until life on earth will be cooked.  not for many, many eons, so don't sweat it.  meantime we can do a lot to preserve the earth as we know it and we're not doing nearly enough.
