"What do you think will happen in 2012?"
Probably exactly what happened in early 2001, when the poles shifted. No one will notice except astronomers, and those who are interested in such events.

February 15, 2001 -- You can't tell by looking, but scientists say the Sun has just undergone an important change. Our star's magnetic field has flipped.
The Sun's magnetic north pole, which was in the northern hemisphere just a few months ago, now points south. It's a topsy-turvy situation, but not an unexpected one.
"This always happens around the time of solar maximum," says David Hathaway, a solar physicist at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "The magnetic poles exchange places at the peak of the sunspot cycle. In fact, it's a good indication that Solar Max is really here."
The Sun's magnetic poles will remain as they are now, with the north magnetic pole pointing through the Sun's southern hemisphere, until the year 2012 when they will reverse again. This transition happens, as far as we know, at the peak of every 11-year sunspot cycle -- like clockwork.

the full declare that the Earth became going to end in 2012 is consistent with a *misinterpretation* of the Mayan calender, which looks to those that do no longer understand the thank you to be certain it to end in 2012. in fact, the Mayan calender is a cyclic calender, meaning it runs in a cycle. (very similar to a vehicle's odometer, which, whilst it reaches 999,999 miles, will click back over and initiate off at 000,000 returned.) the human beings who're claiming that the Mayans predicted the top of the international are reading the Mayan calender as though it became a linear calender like ours. it is not. The Mayans did no longer are anticipating the top of the international. they did no longer make any claims of the style. the human beings who say that the Mayans pronounced something like that are people who understand no longer something with regard to the Mayan way of existence, do no longer understand the thank you to be certain the Mayan calender, and have no theory what they're talking approximately. the two way, why absolutely everyone could connect any form of importance to a perceived "prediction" made via an historic civilization that would no longer even are anticipating it fairly is very own downfall is previous logical comprehension. (no longer that any end-time theorists interior the historical past of mankind are ordinary for his or her good judgment or comprehension skills.) it fairly is extremely baffling that it fairly is Christians who look to have grabbed directly to this, and use it to back up their faith's end-time fable, whilst decrease than the different circumstances they could say that the Mayans ideals have been "fake ideals".

I think I will vote in the November elections. I also think I will no longer be the same age as I am right now. Then, there's my belief that I will have purchased a new car by 2012. Additionally, I think my daughter will be a teenager all year long. I think the moon will continue to revolve around the Earth. I think the Mojave Desert will still be a desert. I think water will still be found in the oceans. I think the sun will continue to be hot. I think there will be new television shows that start that year. I think the Browns still will not win the Super Bowl. I think public schools will still be pathetic. I think politicians will still lie. I think someone, somewhere will be born. I think someone, somewhere will die. I think there will still be atheists, agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and all sorts of other religious people. I think there will still be Republicans and Democrats. I think I still won't be able to run a two-minute mile. I think humans will still exist. I think there will still be dogs and cats. I think I'm done answering this question.

sources on the NASA scientist please, i find it hard to believe that if they did agree with that it would be all over the news and bigger than the current greenhouse debate going on around the world.

I think it is all in the hands of God, our Creator. He already has a plan in progress and I give him my cares and woes, then I can sleep peacefully at night.
