Nothing, absolutelly nothing at all. I couldn't find any single claim made by the some times utterly stupid, and sometimes utterly insane, proponents.

All this comes down to who you want to trust; credible scientists that have devoted their entire life to different fields of science or some random kid with a Youtube-account (and the latter is about as qualified as they get in the field of science). Trust me, there is not the slightest chans in hell that the world will end in 2012, or any other time during our/our childrens lifetime.

As for the whole bird scenario, I'll gladly admit that there is a change going on; the media is getting more and more ruthless in their hunt for readers, and fearmongering sells. Did you know that over 15000 birds died in total in 2006 (I believe it was)? How many times did you hear about that in the media? My guess is close to none, because the media wasn't interrested in this quite common phenomena then. But now they feel the need to start off this year in the same manners as last year, by promoting fear. Last year it was the arthquakes, now it's bird/fish/crab deaths.

people may call me stupid but i have been stressed and worried about the '2012 predictions'

It's not stupid, matilda, is normal.

anyway, what is your take on the fish/bird/crab deaths that have been occurring? is it a sign of major changes or is it the government playing about with their new toys?

Hum… Nor the first, nor the second. In truth, is a common fact, treated as an apocalyptic sign.

Peace!
