A new Ice Age could Happen Within Weeks

I was watching a docomentary on Nat Geo the other night about 2012 and the mayan calender, there was a scientist on who said at the start of the last mayan calender 5200 years ago there was a sudden climate change occuring over a few weeks that froze the world, he had found this by taking samples from a ice sheet down in south america, at the end of the glacier there was plants that had been instantly frozen and he carbon dated these to 5200 years ago.
The mayans themselves left a scroll which is in germany and the mayans predict rain and sudden climate change towards 2012 when there calender ends:eek:. So folks could this be it, could a sudden ice age begin in 2012?

Its ok, we've all seen The Day After Tomorrow, it all works out, we just have to move to Mexico.

I can't wait for this. Think of how much money we'd save by not having to run a freezer to make ice-cubes for our cocktail parties.

Sorry, what kind of scientist was this exactly? He thinks the world froze 5,200 years ago? Rubbish. My guess is that he is to the science world what Dr Fox is to the medical world.

Thread title is a little bit deceiving, but anyway, nah, no ice age in 2012 and anyway if there is it doesnt matter all you got to do is pay a billion euro and you will be saved.

According to a well known TV scientician a new ice age is slated to happned two days before the day after tomorrow.

One funny thing in all of this is that the modern-day Mayans could not give a flying monkey's about 2012!!

It is strictly for nutjobs in the western world who have time on their hands and a worry fetish.

There have been hundreds if not thousands of Ice-Ages in the Planets history, it's a natural occurance that repeats a fair bit.

I saw it on a BBC Documentary!

Most people misunderstood why the Mayan calendar finished at 2012. They didn't predict climate change, they just couldn't count any higher.

I saw a cartoon film once it had a crazy squirel type thing with a nut fetish( as most squirels do)

In it animals talked and they lived in the ice age, the film was called ice age.

I look forward to talking animals in the new ice age!

It's not Global Warming now, it's Climate Change.... they changed tow wording so now their right no matter what happens. And then get more money.

Never mind the climate changes naturally and so on...

What does Tom Cruise say about all this?

I won't trust any of these charlatans until a real scientologist weighs in

Their calender doesn't end. Just one period ends. And it's not even known if that's the date it ends because different Mayan cultures used different calenders. All this sh*te came up because one guy mistranslated some Mayan text and jumped to the conclusion that the Mayan's predicted the end of everything. This ignores the fact that the Mayan's predicted lots of stuff that happens after 2012 and the fact that technically their calender ends a fair few billion years in the future.

No, it's frozen sh1t this time, as against the usual hot sh1t. I long for something in between, or the average sh1t.

Thankfully the good people of Hollywood have released a handy guide of what to do when this distaster no doubt occurs. Just follow John Cusack's advice and you will be fine.

The Mayan calender seems to be the only plausible "boom world end" type theory so far but many scientists are putting out theories like this which have nothing to do with the actual theory.

Mayan theory is that many key objects in the solar system (planets etc) will line up perfectly causing the earth polarity and other geological features to turn crazy. The vast majority of these theories, like the one proposed in this thread simply are coincidences that run on the same time line as the Mayan calender but were never actually predicted by the Mayans.

The mayan calendar does not predict apocalypse.
Even if the Mayan calendar did predict apocalypse, why would you credit those predictions?
um...
I had a vision last night that the world would end unless you give me 10 thousand euro.

Sure isn't there ice in my freezer already?

Pompey Magnus

So the Mayan calender ends in 2012 and some people jump to the conclusion that this means the world will end then? I would like to know what the alternative could be if the Mayans actually did not believe this, have an infinitely long calender perhaps? By this logic can I conclude that Supervalu predicts that the world will end on the 31st December 2010 because the calender that they gave me ends on that date?

Neil deGrasse Tyson deals with the 2012 nonsense brilliantly.

By the technical definition of an Ice Age, we are still in one, as about 10.4% of the world's surface is covered with ice. The ice age will end when there is none left.

Allegedly.

This is true. At the moment we'd be in an inter-glacial period. Also its understood that during an ice age, previous glaciers have moved at the rate of about 1cm per year, so the world won't be covered in ice anytime soon.

This was meant to happen on 05/05/2000 and the day went by without a hitch.

As I said before, the calendar doesn't end, it begins another cycle.

They couldn't predict the Spanish coming and destroying wiping them off the face of the earth either.
