Cosmophobia
Will there be more or less people fearing things like asteroids, solar flares and rogue planets after 2012 fails?

Very Important Issue
Ya most likely, But then something else will come up and as we have learned the doomtards never quit.
Hopefully far, far less because they should have learned by the big failure next week that they should think critically and not be taken in by scaremongering nonsense on the internet.
The doomtards won't give up though. They may go quiet for a while but I'm sure they'll be back with new crackpot claims, probably involving things like Comet ISON next year. And of course, there are always new generations of kids going online for the first time who will be prime targets for the nutters.

True. The doomtards will just find another date to harp on about. Hopefully with the next stupid date, History Channel and others don't make TV shows and stupid movies about it.
That comet isn't even that close to us.
Yes, I think Apophis is still on the Doomsday calendar. I think it'll be like a back up for 2012.
But it just passed us, and it was too far to hit us though.
Apophis did not pass us, it will have a close flyby i 2029 and again in 2036, if I´m not misstaking, what passed us was 4179 Toutatis, it is to make another flyby in 2069.

I would say "about the same".
People who are worried about the astronomical claims made about 2012 either don't understand the astronomy because they are ignorant about it, or they don't understand the astronomy because they are clinging to misconceptions.
I personally don't think that people in general will choose to become more educated and work to unburden themselves from their misconceptions.

Reminded of Sherlock Holmes not needing to know the layout of the solar system and the Earth orbiting around the Sun because it's irrelevant to his work. Heck, do we even need to know the Earth isn't flat?
