Will the Earth burn up in 2012?
Mayan Apocalypse, 2012 (Great Moments in Science, ABC Science)
But, History Channel notes that the Mayan calendar has been surprisingly accurate throughout the years.
The polar shift, which is very possible, is going to be the most interesting thing. If it happens, that would change life as we know it.
No matter what happens in 2012, it sure is going to be a very interesting year...
NASA predicts that a terrific solar storm will hit the earth in 2012 which will be 30-50 percent greater than anything before. (Remember 1989? This is supposed to be worse - Andy) I believe that there has been global warming over the past decades but it is related to sunspot activity on the sun not carbon dioxide emissions. The sun has gotten hotter and that has affected the earth. A massive solar blast from the sun in 2012 could burn up the earth as could a collision with an asteroid or a comet.

First, when a calendar comes to the end of a cycle, it just rolls over into the next cycle. In our Western society, every year 31 December is followed, not by the End of the World, but by 1 January. So 13.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan calendar will be followed by 0.0.0.0.1 - or good-ol' 22 December 2012, with only a few shopping days left to Christmas.
And the second problem is that it is always remarkably difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, and things that haven't happened yet.
