The recent upheavals around the planet or more specifically Pacific plates could just be a precursor to upcoming disasters... or basically a natural part of the planet's life cycle. To say that we know all about the planet is stupid. We understand a lot but not all of it. Same with Global Warming... how do we KNOW that it isn't just a regular cycle of the planet? Oh sure our pollution has made a contribution, I'll agree on that... but until we know for positive...
Remember how warm the entire plane was 65 million years ago when dinosaurs roamed... wasn't that global warming?...
So much we don't know about our home. So much that we do.

It was also a more circular orbit of the sun and a different axis tilt that made it warmer in the time of the dinosaurs. In the Geological history of the earth it also came darn close during one of the ice ages to being to white (reflective) for life.

As for the Mayan calendar stuff. It is simply a sensationalized misinterpretation of the cycles of the calendar which was sensationalized for the purposes of a movie
