Thoughts and ideas about impending supposed doomsday. Is it necessary to look carefully at the outcome of a global environmental crisis and prepare or do we keep our heads in the sand

The world won't end,humans as a species might become extinct or very close to it.That's just how earth works,its only our time for so long before the earth purges& cleanses itself in a sort of rebirth every so often with things like ice-ages.

Hi Topsy, it's now 2013,April 15th. At present it seems that North Korea's threat to launch a nuclear missile is the main threat to us humans.
We came through 2000 without serious computer problems. The solar flares remain a threat to world's communications, and the meteors/ asteroids are a worry.
Now we have to hope we don't blow ourselves up!

Climate change is real. Weather events are more extreme and the extreme events are more frequent. Logic says human activity produces effects that must alter the earth's natural balance. We do have to do something to rein in our impact on the atmosphere.

We should be carefully looking at the outcome of all global environment crisis' and try to minimise the cost that these disasters have on our environment, and therefore ourselves.
Nothing will happen in 2012 of the likes that some people who beleive in the whole Mayan apocalypse scenario or a 2nd coming of Jesus. That has been misunderstood by the mainstream for a long time. While the Mayans did predict that 2012 was going to be the end of something, it was only that particular age (or end of the Mayan calender) that was ending and would then start a new, beginning the Mayan calender from the start. It works in cycles.
