Okay A) Why is this post on a games site?
B) The fundimental problem with this entire thread is that you're looking for things that are happening on 2012 to support the Mayan claim that something will happen. Yes, new strange stuff will happen on 2012. But guess what? New strange stuff happens all the fricking time!!
I remember people worrying about the planets coming into alinement and if that would tear the world apart or rip the atmosphere away. It did notta.
I remember people had lists of dozens, hundreds even of 'scientific' or religious circumstances pointing to the year 2000 being an end or turning point for humanity. From ancient prophesies to modern science. Then the ridiculous media overblowing of the Y2K thing. 2000 came and went. Notta.
2012 will come, those thing may happen, life will go on, as it has in the past for hundreads of millions of years. As for ascention. Heck I'm doing that now, why wait for 2012 for it to become fashionable?
