Year 2012: End of the World

Patrick Geryl says “MASSIVE Solar flare – Magnetic Pole Reversal Catastrophe Chaos hundreds of 1.5km tidal waves – Volcanic eruptions darkness – Safest place to live 2 km above sea level over 99% of the population will die every 11500 years pole change… north to south and south to north Earth rotation speed from 1000mph to zero then up to 2000mph followed by a huge 2mk high tsunami – Ice age “

This is the first video we’ve published which includes our disclaimer that while the interview presents interesting information, and that we have nothing against Patrick personally, we firmly believe that his conclusions are incorrect. We actually debated whether to release it at all – though the video shows a civilized and intelligent conversation, and Patrick Geryl is a well-meaning and intellectually honest researcher. For someone certain that the world as we know it will end, Patrick is astonishingly cheerful, friendly and matter-of-fact. We opted to release the video, with the disclaimer, so that his logic could be made accessible to others. In brief, Patrick is convinced that the sun will undergo a pole reversal in 2012, and that this will induce a similar reversal on Earth. At that point, says Patrick, all hell will break loose. The idea of a cataclysm in 2012 is not just Patrick’s. Roland Emmerich (the director of the movie 2012) did not get his ideas from him. The notion of a pole shift (or some other civilization-stopper) round about then has become a kind of modern myth. What makes this interesting territory to explore is that, as many …
