NASA on a crusade to debunk 2012 apocalypse myths

The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fuelled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.

Sony Pictures's latest big screen offering "2012" arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths backed by the Mayan calendar.

The doomsday scenario revolves claims that the end of time will come as an obscure Planet X -- or Nibiru -- heads toward or collides into Earth.

The mysterious planet was supposedly discovered by the Sumerians, according to claims by pseudo-scientists, paranormal activity enthusiasts and Internet theorists.

Some websites accuse NASA of concealing the truth on the wayward planet's existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an "Internet hoax."

"There is no factual basis for these claims," NASA said in a question-and-answer posting on its website.

If such a collision were real "astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye," it added. "Obviously, it does not exist."

"Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012," NASA insisted.

Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter solstice in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.

But NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward. And it said there are no planetary alignments on the horizon for the next few decades.

And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be "negligible," NASA said.

Among the other theories NASA has set out to debunk are that geomagnetic storms, a pole reversal or unsteadiness in the Earth's crustal plates might befall the planet.

And while comets and asteroids have always hit the Earth, "big hits are very rare," NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago, spurring the end of dinosaurs.

"We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs," the space agency said.

It's just ridiculous that NASA has to explain to people that movies aren't real.

Perhaps they could start with the ridiculous myths about GlobalWarming/ClimateChange that their own scaremonger James Hansen has been spreading for decades!

Instead of NASA running around trying to debunk this garbage perhaps they spend some energy debunking the global warming myth. Your tax dollars at work.

NASA's primary climate monitoring agency is the Goddard Institute of
Space Studies. Official NASA climate statements come through GISS ... which means they must get by Hansen. Many other scientists and agencies make climate predictions, but Hansen's top the list for scare factor, predicting consequences considerably more dire than his colleagues.

Hansen specializes in climate "modeling" -- attempting to predict
future events based on computer simulations. In 1971, Hansen wrote his
first climate model, which showed the world was about to experience
severe global cooling. NASA colleagues used it to warn the world that
immediate action was needed to prevent catastrophe.

Most research papers are rather dry reading, written to be as
unemotional as possible. Not so with Hansen's reports, whose works
scream alarmism even in their titles: "Climate Catastrophe," "Can We
Defuse the Global Warming Time Bomb," and "The Threat to the Planet."
Hansen was most recently in the news when an amateur blogger
discovered an error in his climate data, a mistake Hansen later
discounted as unimportant to the "big picture" of compelling public
action on climate change.

What about the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause, and that little guy that lives in your fridge and turns out the lights when you close the door? Who will debunk them?

What a waste of money...

This is what Big givernment is good for.

Concern is growing that the tooth fairy is an imaginary friend of President Obama. NASA will debunk that myth and scientifically prove that not only are they not friends but they have never even met.

The scientific method is a great tool but if you're dishonest it gets you nowhere. They state, "And while comets and asteroids have always hit the Earth, "big hits are very rare," NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago, spurring the end of dinosaurs."

In recent years, tyrannosaurus rex DNA has been extracted from organic remains of the animal. Do you really expect me to believe that DNA evidence still exists from an animal dead for more than 65 million years? Come on!

It figures. NASA, one of the most wasteful government agencies, is more than willing to squander its precious taxpayer dollars to go on a fool's errand. It is the same agency that, through its own James Hansen, has falsified and concealed its own reports, which tended to debunk the fraud of Anthropogenic Global Warming.

planet x y or z. who cares. the shift in the magnetic cores polarity is more dangerous. lets do a study on that. as for hansen why after all his models have proven false or misleading does nasa even listen to him. i want this global warm cool debated in a open and fair venue. we have a president who plans on bankrupting america on very shaky scientific data (cap and trade). actually he scares me more than the pole shift. we need a honest and world wide debate on this garbage science!!

I'm certainly glad to know that NASA has debunked these stories....Now,...could they please debunk the "story" that Jesus Christ's return will coincide with the "Great tribulation" after which time God harvests the Earth to make way for New Jerusalem on the planet? Here's a hint....Obama is "the beast"..Isn't it a strange coincidence Dec. 21 2012 falls AFTER our next presidential election but BEFORE the innaugeration of the next?

The winter solstice of 2012 will occur at 11:11 GMT on 21-12-2012 the same day the Mayan Long Count flips over. On that morning the sun will appear to rise into the patch of sky we refer to as the galactic centre or nuclear bulge. It is the location of the super-massive black hole at the centre of rotation for the Milky Way galaxy. This alignment, known as the galactic conjunction occurs every 26,000 years.

Unless the enviro-whacko-Marxists destroy the earth first, we are likely to go out the same way as the dinosaurs, i.e. a comet collision, or the like.
