Futuristic Destruction and Devastation


Environment:

The video above is a movie trailer entitled 2012, what 2012 depicts of the future is the end of the world. As you can see in the video, the words, “How would the government of our planet prepare six million people for the end of the world?” The images shown in the video shows the ocean consuming everything and easily destroying a building as it crumbles into the violent waves. 2012 depicts yet another apocalyptic movie – however, it does state that there will be no survivors indicating that the world will truly come to an end. This devastation is caused by the earth’s core increasing in atmospheric heat causing natural disasters. People won’t be able to escape and nor will the earth’s population ever be brought back with no survivors. The use of huge waves engulfing everything shows another theory in our current society – Global Warming where the polar ice caps are melting due to an increase in temperature and climate changes. Global Warming will cause more water to be added into the ocean depths causing less land. If this movie was to be true then civilization will end as we know it. The monk in the beginning of the traveler rings the bell to warn others; but it doesn’t seem like there’s even anyone around him and he was the only person shown. Ocean waves had destroyed everything by the time – the waves reached dangerous levels – it was above land. No matter how people try to escape there won’t be an end, and if the whole Global Warming controversy is true than the world will end as shown in the movie; though, I don’t think that it will be real as the world ending in 2012 has no real proof besides the Mayan calendar – which evidently ends at 2012. In fact, Harold Camping stated that the world would end in 2010; but he was wrong, and recently he stated that his calculations were all wrong and the world was to end in October 21, 2011 which Rapture would occur; but yet again it’s October 25, 2011 right now and the world still hasn’t ended.

If the world was to end will it occur just like it happened in the movie? Will the world even end? What will happen to the population? Will people continue to ignore those who try to make depictions? Would the world survive?

In conclusion, the world may not end as depicted in the movie because even if Global Warming was a cause it’d take years for ocean levels to increase over land.
