A string of doomsday survival kits has spread like wildfire over the Internet, claiming to have scientific explanations and research results about the planet’s impending doom. more importantly, they claim to have survival guides on how to increase your chances to stay alive during and after the event. one of such books is entitled Polar Shift 2012. Before you get your copy of Polar Shift 2012 or any other book about it, read through this article to learn more about the polar shift theory, its consequences, and the contents of such books.

1. What is the Polar Shift?

The polar shift does not literally mean that the North and South poles are going to change places, as the term might imply. The phenomenon is also known scientifically, as the “cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis”. The theory behind it involves the movement of the current location of the poles in relation to Earth’s axis in a short period of time. such a shift in the geographical locations of our poles will cause unimaginable damage to our planet.

2. will the Polar Shift Really Occur?

Although the authors of the 2012 book series are adamant that it will, there is still no published research or evidence from the scientific community to prove such theory. What research and studies have proven is that the Earth’s axis has moved up to 30° over a period of 200 or so million years. The poles do shift but not in a manner that could cause chaos and destruction as the doomsday theorists imply.

3. What do the Believers Say?

Believers in the polar shift 2012 theory argue that the phenomenon they are referring to is the “geomagnetic reversal” and not the cataclysmic pole shift as mentioned earlier. Geomagnetic reversal refers to the change is the Earth’s magnetic field – an event that occurred some 780,000 years ago. The geomagnetic reversal theory does not necessarily mean that the poles will change their geographical location. According to scientists, an event like the geomagnetic reversal occurs on average intervals of 300,000 years. in truth, it is a fact that 2012 Doomsday theorists take as a sign that a “polar shift” is soon to happen.

4. What to Expect in 2012?

Both the scientific community’s cataclysmic pole shift and the doomsday enthusiasts’ geomagnetic reversal spell doom for the planet as natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis and storms are expected to occur. The change in the magnetic field also means our electronic gadgets will be rendered useless.

5. How to Survive the Polar Shift 2012?

Of course, we can always revert back to the era before the onset of technology. Life was simpler back then anyway. but is that the real solution to the catastrophe happening in 2012? Most books offer detailed survival guides to live through the catastrophe. right now, what you have to do is to choose. Whether or not you believe that the world is going to end in 2012 is up to you. Whether or not you side with the scientists or the doomsday theorists, you have to be more informed and better prepared.
