omg, the poles are shifting WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE IN 5 YEARS!!!!!!!!?

So in 5 years we will just get new Christmas movies, with Santa being at the South Pole and all.

This is all media hype. It gets people worked up and the ratings for go up. Discovery now has a ferocious planet show talking about how the world will change. It’s pretty annoying to me.

First, how do you know that things aren’t supposed to change? We haven’t even been taking official records for that long. Things change all of the time. If you are so worried, then start making some changes in your life to better the environment. Go out and tell other people too. I am not talking about being crazy environmental here. That is just as annoying as the media!

Get rid of the plastic bags at the stores, start taking your own reusable. Try to lower your levels of trash in your home. Use public transportation and bicycles more.

I don’t believe in all of this gloom and doom. But I do believe that we need to take care of our planet. It is responsible and something that needs to be practiced now. I attached a link of a few things that can be done.

Well there are lots of “doomsday” theories out there and there is lots of scientific evidence that our world is about to change drastically in one way or another. However, worrying will not change anything…except your stress levels. Humanity has survived many, many catasrophes before and it will survive again. The poles shifting refers to magnetic pull…not the world flopping upside down. Global warming actually will cause an Ice Age…not meltdown. These things are actually naturally occuring phenomenon (though we are contributing to them). Will we all die? Of course, all things die. However we will not all die from a magnetic pole shift, or even global warming. You seem too young to be worried in this manner. Try to channel your fear into positive action to make the world we have right now a better safer place.

why would that kill anybody???? all its gonna do is make compasses point south instead of north, no biggie, it happens all the time if your talkin geographic time scales. Why are you freakin out, relax, the mayans were wrong, plus the white man killed em all, so they cant be that smart. plus who says the gregorian calendar is right??? it isnt year 27 it is year 4billion 3million4hundred thousand 8hundred and 59 for all we know, and if your a chinese, it is year 4780 and if your a jew it is year 5792, so dont buy into all this exact date of doomsday crap, because it is crap. Humans dont know crap about the date, or about the long term cycles of our very old planet. just like when everybody freaked out about y2k,, and what happened??? the most non impacting, quietest new years eve ever. calendars are a joke, they are not real, they are made up by man, man is essentially very stupid, you have nothing to fear. it is not the year 27, therefore the year 2012 has no base in reality whatsoever, nor does any other doomsday date.

It’s OK! the shifting is normal! The earth doesn’t rotate perfectly. The earth wobbles like a top. The earth wobbling is called a precession. With the wobbles and the magnetic forces of the sun and moon; the poles will naturally shift. it ocurs roughly every 10 million years or something like that. It’s a very slow process and the only thing that will really be affected are compasses… and migrating birds.. i think bees will be affected too. Nothing really changes outside of that. So no, you won’t die in 5 years of the earth doing something like that.

The poles have shifted in the past as well… no big deal… not like that crappy movie “the Core”.

I’d be a little more worried about watching both ways when you cross the street. Or restricting the junk food you eat. Or putting smart people into government that act not just react.

Peace

actually, i’m unable to evaluate this to different issues that has befell that have been way worse! I advise, human beings freak out over not something. there is not something to be stricken approximately. no person’s going to die, so do not problem!!! besides, attempt to evaluate the only in Yellowstone. there are numerous greater risky issues in existence that we must be sparkling with. in case you think of approximately it, there are greater effective and greater risky volcanos we ought to constantly beware for. I stay in New Jersey, and that i did not pay attention approximately this on the information, or everywhere else. until eventually I see this on the information or on the components, i will seem into it, yet for now…that’s perplexing to evaluate to the different risky issues that has already befell long term in the past. not merely that, study this!!! – They worry that a great landslide following a considerable volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands could deliver a 3-foot wave around the Atlantic, inflicting devastation to coastal cities and cities. British and U.S. scientists who’ve issued the warning anticipate that, in the worst-case concern, the tidal wave could injury the coasts of Florida and Brazil. however the Western Sahara, Portugal, Spain, France and areas of the united kingdom could additionally be hit. They worry that the mega-wave — comprehend as a tsunami — must be generated by potential of element of a mountain two times the size of england’s Isle of guy crashing into the sea following an eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on la Palma, in the Canary Islands — element of the Spanish island chain off West Africa. vacationing at speeds of as much as 5mph, the tsunami could be an unstoppable rigidity and may be the main important-ever recorded in background. previous analyze by potential of Dr Simon Day, of the Benfield Greig threat analyze Centre at college college London envisioned that a destiny eruption of Cumbre Vieja replaced into probable to reason the western flank of the mountain to slip into the sea. The potential released by potential of the cave in could be equivalent to the electrical energy intake of the entire U.S. in six months.

Calm down.

The poles aren’t really moving, just the magnetic field that earth is surrounded by. The only thing that will be wrong is that on electronic things south will be north and north will be south. The only problem will be the satellites and electronic things so no were not going to die.

The polar ice caps are going to melt in 5 years, but we’re not “all going to die”. It will change the world alot, but will not destroy the human population.The water level will rize, we will be low on fresh water, and the temperature will change, but we aren’t going to die. The Mayans predicted the world will end in 2012, but I wouldn’t worry so much. If it’s going to happen, you can’t stop it, and it’s the human populations fault!

You’re confused. There’s a difference between the polar ice caps melting and the poles shifting.

When the poles flip it just means the magnetic poles will switch. This will have absolutely no bearing on life on Earth. You apparently do not understand that we are currently revolving at over 465 miles per SECOND.
