Because the sun sustains life on Earth. Not only that, but when the sun ages, it will eventually become a red giant, and fry the fuck out of the Earth, making it look like Mercury. After the surface of the Earth has been melted for a long time, the sun will go nova and screw up Earth even more, and once it has nova'd, it becomes a white dwarf, too cold and small to sustain life on Earth, which has likely been thrown out of orbit by the nova, if not completely obliterated.
That said, we will probably either have migrated to new planets and/or killed ourselves before then.
Also, yeah, 2012 doomsday is pulled out of an adult bulls anus. People seem to enjoy doomsday theories. Wasn't there a guy who predicted that CD's would be the end of humankind?
