I have a long article on apocalyptic predictions in Wired Magazine. Here's a version with about 70 links to sources. I have also added in a few paragraphs on falling sperm counts and on species extinction: these were edited from the published version of the article for space reasons.
"Who or what will cause the 20120 apocalypse?" This is the question posed by the website 2012apocalypse.net. "Super volcanos? Pestilence and disease? Asteroids? Comets? Antichrist? Global warming? Nuclear war?" the site's authors are impressively open-minded about the cause of the catastrophe that is coming at 11:11 pm on December 21 this year. but they have no doubt it will happen. after all, not only does the Mayan Long Count calendar end that day, but "the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years."
Case closed: Sell your possessions and live for today.
