Will the world end in 2012?

Me I dont think it will I think something will happen.But I dont think it will be so horrible.
But I wont to know what you think

But if we keep going the way we are the world will end from US

1) No one said the world was going to end in the year 2000, everyone just thought that after 1999 computers wouldn't recognize the year 2000 and would instead go back to 0001, and you can imagine the countless technological SNAFUs that would result in such an occurrence.

2) The date of December 12th, 2012 being doomsday is based on the Mayan calendar, but never did they actually predict or prophecize that 12/12/12 is the day the world will end, it's just simply the last day on their calendar.

I'm not really sure.
I'm leaning more towards 'no', because they said things would happen 2000, and here we are, 2008, still the same. So, ever since then I find accusations like that hard to believe.
BUT... at the same time, the earth right now is in such danger. Its getting worse and worse, and its going to keep heading down that path.
I don't really think it will happen, but at the same time, if it did I wouldn't be surprised.

Lot of interesting answers here:

Things happening in the world today are no worse than they were in other times in history. The world is not going to end in 2012, that's a false prophecy based on more fear mongering.

I don't think the world is ever really going to end.

I think that it won't come so early , but the only guilties for it would be people themselves,as we destroy nearly everything around us.I mean wars ,terrorism and also when people are polluting air ,cutting trees and killing rare animals! It's terrible.

I very much doubt it...

no everyone thought the world would end in 2000 and unless my timing is way off, its 2008 and were still living...but then again you never know...

thats exactly what I mean.
something will happen but not doomsday

Well I think 2012 is alittle to soon maybe in 2050 we will be in trouble because of glaicers melting causing places like the medlives and Bangledash to be under water and our growing population which will reach 9 billion in the next 5 years who knows where it will be by 2050 probably moree. but I don't think the world will end in 2012

I'm pretty sure the world is NOT going to end any time soon but I totally agree that if we keep it up the worlds end could be right around the corner. Maybe...

I heard it was going to end in 2029...

glaicers melting causing places like the medlives and Bangledash to be under water

I don't know where you got this information, but Bangladesh and the Maldives will not be under water because of glacial melting, at least not for a much longer time. Al Gore exaggerated the rate and impact of rising sea levels for his documentary to scare people.

The truth is, most scientists, even climatologists, who do agree that global warming is happening do not expect such a rapid rise in sea level. The biggest threat to coastal areas from global warming is in the form of rising levels of salt water at the expense of fresh water, which is in turn caused by lack of rain. This is already happening along the US Gulf Coast and in Australia, and it's affecting sea life in those areas.

Most climatologists agree the most immediate threat from global warming is rapidly changing weather patterns and changes in the ocean's circulation.

Many people throughout the ages calling themselves prophet have predicted the end of the world. So far all have been wrong. In the 1970's Clare prophet, the leader of the Church Universal and triumphant predicted the end of the wold as we know it and had her followers invest in land in Montana to escape the coming judgement. The Seventh Day Advents believed the earth would end in the late 1800's as did the Jehovah Witnesses. Even Christ Jesus said he did not know when the end would come. I don't think anyone can predict the end of the earth. Just live your life like everyday was YOUR last, and leave a good impression on those who love you.

***Al Gore exaggerated the rate and impact of rising sea levels for his documentary to scare people***

Don't be so sure - when I was at High School I was involved with some projects involving NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research, NZ) which was doing studies in partnership with a similar US institute. Part of our involvement was that we had to help process and map data on the Ozone Layer and Sea Levels, and what I saw in the Al Gore documentary was in line with the raw process data I saw firsthand being a part of that.

Being a Pacific country nearer to the Antarctic (New Zealand), we are affected most by the thinning Ozone layer, and nearby Island nations are beginning to feel effects of rising sea levels - in fact many of these Islands are buying up land for their people in NZ because it seems likely that if things continue as they are, their Islands will be completely submerged and they will otherwise be homeless. Even if it is exaggerated, it is still real and a scary prospect nonetheless.

Having said that, I don't believe the world will end in 2012 - there will me celestial events at this time, but it seems extremely unlikely they will affect us. But, if we do continue as we are, the world as we know it will 'end' and the future will not be a rosy place.

Well, I never really put much thought into these predictions, as they are bassed on absolutly nothing. But while we are discussing all the predictions, I thought that that I mosas well remind people, that according to the turmanator movies, the turmanators invade in 2010, lol

naw... maybe like 2146... that seems like a good year to end the world eh?

We may be nearing the end I don't know. The extremely quick meltdown of glaciers and our weather change. I do know that the sun's distance is supposed to be significantly closer by that year but not much else. I hope the Mayan calendar and the other prophecies are wrong. I want to live longer. If we don't I guess we will find out. I know someone will come after me to say I'm wrong. Well I'm no prophet or psychic. Sylvia Browne says we have 94 years. Go figure.

-Well I think 2012 is alittle to soon maybe in 2050 we will be in trouble because of glaicers melting causing places like the medlives and Bangledash to be under water and our growing population which will reach 9 billion in the next 5 years who knows where it will be by 2050 probably moree. but I don't think the world will end in 2012-

The worlds population still isn't even over 7 billion. It will be quite some time before we reach 9 billion. Have you ever heard of demographic transition? What it means is that eventually all industrialized countries birth and death rates eventually even out, so as countries like China become more industrialized we should see population growth slow down and even stop in the future.

When the Sun goes KABOOM!!! in about 10 million or billon years, thats when I think it will end.

'kamex'
I didn't say anyone said the world was going to END in 2000.
I said they said things would happen, and nothing did, things are the same today.

I'm not sure if you were referring to my answer or someone elses, just wanted to clear that up though incase it was mine you were talking about I don't want to go read everyone elses answers to find out, lol.

I dont know, where did you hear that from?
