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

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

 

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.

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?
