2012. Can someone point me in the direction of the safe zones and how to prepare?

Question

THERE ARE SAFE ZONES AND PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHERE TO GO. THERE ARE UNDERGROUND PLACES BEING BUILT IN NEW ZEALAND. BUT I HEARD THAT THERE ARE PLACES ON EVERY CONTINENT THATS SAFE. OF COURSE ALL THE COASTS ARE DOOMED. WHOS PREPARING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PREPARE? ARE THERE ANY NJ PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PREPARE? STRENGTH IN NUMBERS IS IMPORTANT. FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNAWARE OF WHATS TO COME, A POLAR SHIFT. JUST BECAUSE ITS IN MOVIES DOESNT MEAN IT CANT HAPPEN. THE EARTH IS GOING TO CLEANSE ITSELF AGAIN AND LIKE IN THAT MOVIE, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, ITS GOING TO BE LIKE THAT. THERES PROOF. THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS IT. BUSH EVEN BROUGHT OVER 170,000 ACRES OF LAND IN A SAFE ZONE SOMEPLACE. ITS COMING. PEOPLE, HELP!!

Answer 1

There aren't any safe zones because everyone knows it won't happen. Just calm down. And relax.

Answer 2

This is an ancient Mayan prophecy. Are you over-reacting?

Answer 3

I don't expect anything major to happen, but, since there are no records of the last galactic alignment 26,000 years ago, I wouldn't discount the idea of possible tidal waves and volcanic eruptions.  I don't believe it would be enough for a polar reversal.  

I haven't found any actual scientific or univerity research sites that predict a polar reversal on Earth.  There was a slight polar shift recently.  I believe it was when the undersea earthquake that caused the Tsunamis happened.  I didn't notice anything.  If there is proof, as you said, I'd like to see it before I run for cover.

The following sites all have speculative info, and none that I have found were by scientists.  But, if you believe this is going to happen, one good thing would be to get away away from coastlines and volcanoes.  If we had an actual 180 degree polar reversal, I don't know where would be a definite safe place.  Maybe some of the survival sites have suggestions about that.

In February 2001, the Sun did a magnetic polar shift. The next one is due again in 2012. Did you notice? - The last reversal happened 740000 years ago for ...

This event is known as a polar shift, and these have occurred regularly in human history -- every 3657 years, to be precise. This site will point to other ...

Pole shift hypotheses are also not to be confused with Geomagnetic reversal, the periodic reversal of the earth's magnetic field (effectively switching the north and south magnetic poles). Geomagnetic reversal has more acceptance in the scientific community than pole shift hypotheses.

Answer 4

go out of your house and look 75 degrees left; you will be in a safe zone

Answer 5

The world will end with a whimper, not a bang. Relax, you will be dead a log time before the world turns belly-up. I wouldn't trust ancient Mayan prophecies too much. In short: don't be stupid.

Answer 6

If this is reallt happening then I guess it will just have to happen

Answer 7

Ok. First, you have the concept of 2012 wrong. 2012 was the date on the mayan calander in which they predicted a meteor would hit the world. Also, the masive polar shift wont happen if global warming has its way, and if it doesn't a global shift would have to result in the earth completely shifting its axis, which is highly unlikely.  Either way, its not going to affect the earth.  With the meteor, there is a .05% chance that the asteroid will come with in range of hitting a spot that would change the earths ROTATION, not axis,and, scientists have ways to destroy the asteroid. So, in 2012 there would be no end. But to officially answer your question, head into central canada, and hide in the Canadian Shield, its a bountiful high place, other wise, New Zealand would be a safe bet geographically.
