World ending in 2012 according to scientists

So, I found this article online stating several people have been preparing for this world to end in 2012. Do you think the world will really end in 2012 or could it be a big hoax?

Article:

Two years ago, Patrick Geryl, then 51, quit his job as a laboratory worker for a French oil company. He'd saved up just enough money to last him until December 2012. After that, he thought, he wouldn't need it anyway.

Instead, Geryl, a soft-spoken man who had studied chemistry in his younger years, started preparing for the apocalypse. He founded a "survival group" for likeminded men and women, aimed at living through the catastrophe he knew was coming.

He started gathering materials necessary to survive — water purifiers, wheelbarrows (with spare tires), dust masks and vegetable seeds. His list of survival goods runs 11 pages long.

"You have to understand, there will be nothing, nothing left," Geryl told ABC News from his home in Antwerp, Belgium. "We will have to start an entire civilization from scratch."

That's because Geryl believes the world as we know it will end in 2012. He points to the ancient Maya cyclical calendars, the longest of which last renewed itself approximately 5,125 years ago and is set to end again, supposedly with catastrophic consequences, in 2012. He speaks of the ancient Egyptians, who, he claims, saw 2012 as a year of great change too. And he points to science: NASA predicts a sharp increase in the number of sunspots and sun flares for 2012, he said, sure to cause electrical failures and satellite disruptions.

All this adds up, Geryl said, to unprecedented catastrophe. First, a polar reversal will cause the north to become the south and the sun to rise in the west. Shattering earthquakes, massive tidal waves and simultaneous volcanic eruptions will follow. Nuclear reactors will melt, buildings will crumble, and a cloud of volcanic dust will block out the sun for 40 years. Only the prepared will survive, Geryl said, and not even all of them.

These may sound like the ravings of a madman, or perhaps the head of a small apocalyptic sect. But Geryl is not the only one who believes in the apocalypse. Thousands of people worldwide seem to be preparing, in one way or another, for the end of days in 2012. Survival groups exist in Europe, Canada and the United States. A simple Google search for "2012" and "the end of the world" brings up nearly 300,000 hits. And the video-sharing Web site YouTube hosts more than 65,000 clips informing and warning viewers about their fate in 2012.

A world wide apocalypse? It's not even my birthday yet!

Not you.

The op.

It's a forum. Keep it friendly. ;)

I think it is pretty unlikely...

optiuum67 is a big meanie :'(

there is supposedly an even that may or may not happen around the end of 2012. the end of the world it will not be.

Well, I for one am going by the mayan calander. You know, the people who couldn't even predict the fall of their own civilization.

Did they have human sacrifices? If so we need to sacrifice someone so the world doesn't end.

So you think you can solicit opinion on the internet about your retarded theory but oh no heaven forbid anyone says anything negative?

It's not my theory. I posted an article. The fact that you can't read properly is not my fault. The fact that you posted your opinion about me without knowing me is ignorant. I asked for an opinion about the article, not about me. Learn to read and understand properly; then bring your opinions forward.

Thank you.

You had to ask whether or not the theory is bullshit. Learn to sit down and think for ten seconds before you bother total strangers with some weak shit you've just seen on the web.

Thanks in advance.

I find it funny you expect me to do what you tell me; especially when your first comment on here was infantile. You're a joke!

I can post what I want on here and if it doesn't suit others then the moderators can step in. I'm ok with that.

I make a point to ignore any fringe theories from TV shows. TV is entertainment first!

i think the OP should be banned, on account of being dumb as fuck... like that christian retard who tried to prove that god existed.
