I used to think otherwise, but now I'm not too sure. All the elements are in place:
Finance:
The Global Recession is leaving millions of people jobless. Who knows when it will end?
Health:
Swine flue is now Pandemic level. Thousands are infected (and another thousand suspected), no vaccine yet (maybe not ever). Thousands dead and maybe a million more to go?
Armaggedon:
North Korea is getting cranky, there is a chance of nuclear war sure they can only have a few but if 2 or 3 or even just 1 hits it's target then that will leave millions dead, a city devastated. Radiation will kill the next 2 or 3 generations, IF it happens then it would be yet another problem.
What's next? A massive typhoon? Volcanic activity in the pacific ring of fire? More eathquakes? A solar flare?
Maybe, maybe 2012 isn't some fiction after all.
