From what I have found on this topic, the only believable possibility would be that a "great change" is going to take place. Not the end of the world, just a change. According to the zodiac, from what I was told, there are certain "eras" similar to how each month has a certain symbol. For example, June being a Gemini month. In December of 2012 we're supposed to be going into a different zodiac era, but I've never had much faith in the zodiac.
My belief, personally, is that the Mayans/Aztecs or whoever said the world would end when their calender did, said so as a joke. The real reason they stopped their calender where they did was most likely the fact that they didn't need it to extend over a couple thousand years. How could a primitive civilization, incapable of predicting their own end, accurately predict the end of the entire world? Yes, their ability to accurately chart the position of the stars was good, but that didn't save them from being taken advantage of and nearly entirely wiped out.
As for Nostradamus, I believe the future is not set in stone and becomes less and less predictable the further you attempt to predict. Furthermore, assuming the future was entirely predictable, just by knowing a possible occurrence you have the power to stop it from occurring. It is possible that just by predicting the world would end, he stopped it from being a possibility.

i believe that the 2012 thing is being misunderstood by people. it's a transition, a passing of phases, a turning of the wheel of time from one epoch to the next. the start of a new great Age.
it will of course be marked by equally great upheaval, strife, depression, war, revolution and ultimately an "apocolypse" of terror and panic. once the dust clears though, the world will still be hear, just changed dramatically from all the drama of the climactic events.
i myself am getting ready for a post-apocolyptic world. but that doesn't mean wasteland, or even total anarchy. in fact, it is most likely that there will still be nations, probably most of the one's we all recognize as the top dogs, maybe some smaller ones will be stronger now, the point is tha things will be different. but the world itself is going to make it out alive, i promise.
whatever direction it takes from here is largely dependent on the choices made be each and every person on the planet. the way it all comes together, it's what determines the fate of the world. we who take affirmative action are going shape the world the way we intend to, and we will innevitably come into conflict with others who would change the world differently than us. but even the people who do nothing are playing their part. by not getting involved they neither tip the balance this way or that. see?
