According to many prophecy and future progression (Nostradamus, James Merrill, Dr. Chet Snow), Earth will undergo depopulation from 7 Billion to less than 2 Billion...However, do not fear death as death is just a change of dimension. According to Bashar and Archangel Emmanuel Channelling - they had said that - Thought Create Reality. Therefore, if you think nothing will happen, then nothing will happen and even 2012 is just another day. If you think of change, then change it shall be. Just think positive and imagine the life you prefer. Think peace on Earth.
"Throughout his book, Noah insists these prophecies are not "written in stone" and are merely "future prospects," and that we can still save ourselves if we manage to become almost completely selfless." Joseph Noah
