2012 Mayan Calendar Doom and Gloom; Is It Global Warming?

Many ancient prophesies talk about the doom and gloom, end of days, apocalypse or rapture. Of course no one can take it all literally although it has many people wondering how will it occur if in fact it does occur at all? Well could it be connected to Climate Change and the Earth heating up? Is the prophesy really about something we already fear such as; Global Warming? Well this subject recently came up in an online think tank when one member stated;

“Maybe what appears to be a part of the doom and gloom prophesy of some is just the natural order of things, even if it takes hundreds of years for that order to occur. Weather is not something that was monitored as it is even a hundred years ago, so records would be scarce. Perhaps, we are just learning the patterns.”

Well lets say the Mayan Calendar and the various other such prophesies had hand-me-down writings from over a 25,000 year period, but the writings were not as accurate as they would like them to be until about 10,000 years ago, yet it was enough to predict the re-occurring events that they had to go through.

These ancient civilizations therefore realized that hot to cold or Sun solar events or changes in magnetic shifts, etc caused huge disruptions in their food chain or hardships killing many of their peoples. Then they had put together a calendar to show when these most likely occur and came up with the dates which we refer to as the 2012 date?

Well then at least like most religions it would be somewhat bathed in folklore and somewhat based in guestimated knowledge and thus a worthy consideration, but that does not mean mankind cannot adapt or use the time wisely to fix any potential calamity in advance of that potential eventuality. We have more resources now and knowledge then before and we will always find a way. Human “will power” is indeed a true asset in problem solving and goal setting too. We can beat Global Warming or Climate Change if we choose too. Consider all this in 2006.
