”What independent evidence do we have that the 2012 prophecies harbor an element of truth? Are there scientifically established grounds to believe that the end of 2012 will mark a global tipping point for humanity?”

Read the article below by Dr. Ervin Lazlo explaining the predictions for December 21st 2012 and see how scientific evidence proves that we need to start preparing for the global, physical, and climatic changes  that are inevitably going to occur.

CHAOS POINT 2012: The Prophecies and the Evidence

There is a growing wave of thinking that associates the coming of a chaos point with the famous end of 2012 date. Some people contest this assumption and go as far as to claim that all talk of a chaos point is mistaken; the world as it is today will not change, at least not in our lifetime. Others take the contrary view, they claim that it’s already too late: the chaos point has already been passed. This is the view expressed among others by James Lovelock, the British scientist who thirty years ago worked out how the Earth possesses a planetary-scale control system that keeps it fit for life (the “Gaia hypothesis).

Lovelock maintains that the “Gaia system” is out of control. “I think we have little option,” he wrote in The Revenge of Gaia (February, 2006) “but to prepare for the worst, and assume that we have passed the threshold. “The Earth’s physical condition must be seen as seriously ill and soon to pass into a morbid fever that may last as long as 100,000 years.” The principal reason for this pessimistic assessment is global warming.  The heating up of the atmosphere will create “a hell of a climate.” The average temperature will rise 8 degrees centigrade in temperate regions and 5 degrees in the tropics.

Is Lovelock right—have we reached a catastrophic chaos point already? When we take a closer look at his argument, we find room for a more positive assessment. Lovelock’s reasoning about the dynamics of the Earth’s physical-biological systems is sound, but he doesn’t recognize that not only nature, but also humanity is a dynamic system on the threshold of a chaos point. Human societies, the same as the planetary ecologies, are not infinitely stressable. Sooner or later they reach the point where they tip one way or another. When that chaos point is reached, they become ultra-sensitive and capable of rapid transformation. The dangers as well as the opportunities conveyed by chaos points apply to natural as well as to human systems.

Will the coming of a chaos point in human societies coincide with the famous 2012 prophecies? Many people say so, but such claims need to be substantiated. For the most part, the claims refer to esoteric prophecies coming from traditional cultures. These may convey important information and merit being known. But is there scientific evidence to back them up?
