Some people, like the idiotic producers at paramount in hollywood, believe the world will end in 2012. How, and is it true is my question. I, personally believe the chances of this happening are as good as Rick Santorum being elected (before he dropped out)!!! lol.... I believe it is partially his fault and god is like "Goddammit! That douche is going for it!" so he has to kill [us all!!!! here is the wikipedia definition for the "2012 phenomenon"

The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on 21 December 2012.[1][2][3][4] This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae have been proposed as pertaining to this date, though none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.

A New Age interpretation of this transition is that this date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.[5] Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe.[6] Scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, or Earth's collision with an object such as a black hole, a passing asteroid, or a planet called "Nibiru".

Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea of such cataclysmic events occurring in 2012. Professional Mayanist scholars state that predictions of impending doom are not found in any of the extant classic Maya accounts, and that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history and culture.[3][7][8] Astronomers and other scientists have rejected the proposals as pseudoscience, stating that they conflict with simple astronomical observations[9] and amount to "a distraction from more important science concerns, such as global warming and loss of biological diversity

If the magnetic poles reverse then we are as good as dead. If their connection is disrupted, the magnetic field they generate will decay, meaning we are more vulnerable to harmful rays from the Sun. That's probably not what Chuck meant, but I know that will happen if the poles reverse, which they will, but we'll be dead by then anyway. It's at least a couple thousand years in the future.
