Best way to deal with the prediction about 2012 December 21

I recently came across quite a number of old predictions about year 2012. The predictions include those coming from Mayan civilisation which has got a higher level of technological advancement once in the past, Edgar Cayce (the most famous psychic of the 20th century), etc.

Some believe that the world we now know would ultimately come to a destructive end, while others believe that humanity will
enter a new age, marked by significant changes physically and mentally.

One needs to wonder how this timing coincides with the Scientists' claims that the ice in the Artic Poles would all melted if we do not make a united effort to stop the current global warming quickly. These Scientists have advocated vegetarian diets as one viable and possibly the best solution to stop the global warming. At least one third of the carbon emissions come from meat stock industry. It does not take a rocket science to see that by changing the people's eating habits, we could have solved all the core issues of CO2 poluter including those of coming from the fuel and transportations.

Do we need more warnings to do something about it, while the time is closing in on us ? The solution may lie in our choice of eating lifestyle. I think it is wiser to take precaution before it is too late. Even though, the new age argument prevails, are we ready for such transformation ? I would envision the new age era to be a more loving era, where animals are cared for and not abused.
