December 21, 2012 will be an important date for all of humanity. The ancient Mayans created the Long Count calendar to mark this date as the beginning of a new cycle for mankind. Some people are calling 2012 'Doomsday' and they say it's the end of the world.
Believers think cataclysmic or transformative events will occur in the year 2012. Skeptics believe the idea of a global event occuring in 2012 based on the Mayan calendar is pseudoscience.

It's not even pseudo science. It's just rank, primitive superstition. And it's not even their superstition. It's one they adopted to be cool.
Numerous sources, including NASA and the folks over at Spaceweather.com foresee nothing cataclysmic or even remarkable about 2012 about the interstellar events on that date. Even us astrologers (including the shitty ones like me) know this is more about about sensationalizing an old prophecy for the masses to sell books/documentaries/movies than about an actual coming threat.
It's as much the end of the world as much as a dead prophet coming back to earth.
I tend to agree with the Shitty Astrologer on this. I feel the same way about Nostradamus.
"2012: Time for Change" projects a radical alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Emmy Award nominee Joao Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method. As conscious agents of evolution, we can redesign post-industrial society on ecological principles to make a world that works for all. Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 will herald the birth of a regenerative planetary culture, where collaboration replaces competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our world to the brink.
Interviews with design scientists, anthropologists, physicists such as Dean Radin, Barbara Marx Hubbard, John Todd and Paul Stamets and celebrities such as Sting, Ellen Page and Gilberto Gil.
