December 21, 2012.  Many people say the world will end then.  Personally, I remember how many times others have predicted the end of the world, and I don't worry.  Besides, I'll be 65 then, and won't care very much.

NO.\nCould be end of times for humans but not for Earth.

Barring the very unlikely event of a meteor hitting Earth, no, the world isn't going to end any time soon.\nIf you mean, could our lives change drastically because of global warming soon, well, perhaps.  But Earth itself will continue.

Hey KB--these are dark days, but I don't think it's the end of the world, or even of the US. Clearly, democracy in the U.S. is in a bad place right now, and there are a lot of signs that the U.S. world dominance might not be as hunky-dory as it looked 10 years ago. \n\nBut still, we are a strong nation with good people, and over time, we will recover from this. Our democracy will stand, and people will come to see some of the mistakes we've made over the last 5 years. Corruption and short-sightedness are nothing new. We will never completely leave them behind, but we have overcome them before, and we will do so this time.\n\n\n(It might be presumptuous, but I'm going to bet you're in your teens or early 20's...at that age, it often seems like each crisis is the biggest one ever and that some kind of Apocalypse is near, but now that I've got an extra decade or two, I realize that history has it's rhythms and humanity always manages to muddle on somehow).

This isn't the first "End of Times" panic!  The ignorant masses are swept into a fervour by their spiritual leaders.  I believe this is a corrosive factor in humanity.  Whether it is religious rapture or Y2K, far too many people are just plain gullible.   What I see isn't really the end of times but a renewal of the dark ages.  Those in the dark remain in the dark and teach their kids there is no light.  The emergence of highly respected American Evangelist Zealots is very very disturbing and is leading to a new flat earth that the universe revolves around.

if explosion means bursting inside out, then nope, but population explosion has already happened, and global warming has reached the point of no return, so it is scary but true that there is gonna be an end to the mankind, when? i do not know, but how? disastrous natural calamities that is for sure. do not worry, we all are gonna die, so we all will meet in the heaven, if there is one, just do ur work in this world for now

we know not when the end of the world shall be.  i'll tell you now, it won't be then because so many people expect it.  Even Jesus said, "For not even the Son of Man knows when this day will be, or the angels of Heaven.  only the Father knows."

yes, I have heard of these predictions, but no, I do not believe the world will end then. \n\nPeople have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of time or at least the beginning of Christianity. The bible does not predict the end as far as the actual date, but the New Testament writers believed it would happen in their day or very soon.\n\nEven John opened the book of Revelation with the remark that these things must soon come to pass. \n\nI am only 54 and in my short life I have seen the end of the world dates come and go 4 times just off the top of my head and more that I would have to think about. \n\nBack in 1991 with the first Iraq war people used Nostradamus predictions to claim that 1991 was the year would end. \n\nthose predictions are so vague that anyone can interpret them in any way. \nas far as the Mayans, some believe they meant the end of the world in 2012 while others believe that it predicts a great change similar to that which destroyed the dinosaurs. There again it is dependent on interpretation.

People have been predicting the end of time since the beginning of time.  Life is too short to worry about the end of the world, worry about the end of your life because it will probably happen first!

I think it does confirm that our world is doomed and wasted in the hands of an entire generation who's education we're paying for and seeing no results from.\n\nSome where is a 14 year old Antichrist typing a question about "y cant ne1 may i no, 2b satan nemore?" and the rest of us are unaware of his existence because WE CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING.\n\nThis is how the world ends. By txt and baaaaad grammar.

That's something that no matter how smart anyone think they are, no one really knows. The world is a big place, and we like to think that it won't end until we're long dead. The truth is, it could end tomorrow(though chances are low) or it could never end(chances are low on that too).
