Throughout this article Dennis Overbye, a New York Times author, responds to a public panic about the so called "end of the world" on December 21, 2012. He talks about a lot of different sources that have contributed to this panic and says that as far as the movie 2012 goes... there is nothing truthful about it. He says that the next major sunspot (solar storms like in the movie) will not happen until 2013 and they will be very moderate. NASA and CERN both said not to worry at all. Dennis Overbye talks about letters and emails he has received from people asking about 2012. He said that one woman asked if she should kill herself, her small child, and her unborn baby to avoid suffering when "the world ends". He said that he got many emails like this, but told the public not to worry. Science shows the world will not be ending in 2012. He also said that if people want to worry, scientists say they should be worrying about global climate change, asteroids, or a nuclear war. He also says that there are some true things that happened in the movie that could happen in real life sometime, such as quakes destroying Los Angeles or Yellowstone erupting, but they won't cause the world to end.
