Science is certainly not in that mindset, either. Scientists do not believe the world is in any serious danger, save perhaps global warming or a population crisis. This is doubly true if the movie depicts anything like a threat from outer space, like those predicted by the credulous promoters and believers in the 2012 doomsday. Ideas about very bad or very good things happening in 2012 are totally fabricated, and involve a "galactic eclipse" where the Sun moves in front of the center of the galaxy as seen from Earth's sky, the sun somehow moving to the center of the galaxy (very retarded idea by those who misunderstood the phrase "galactic eclipse"), magnetic poles will flip, planetary alignment, or Mayan prophecy says Earth will end via (pick one or more options above). None of these ideas have any basis in fact and are predicted by charlatans whose predictions for an end of the world in 2003 did not come true. Additionally, it is never explained why a magnetic pole flip or the Sun passing in front of a small patch of sky would do anything of significance to human everyday lives.
