Possibly nothing "out of the ordinary" will happen. Perhaps we will keep on having increasing earthquakes, severe weather and wars in the Middle East.
These are no longer "out of the ordinary".
The fact is, the earth is already changing. There are already earth changes in effect, happening daily. The magnetic pole is shifting. Note the increase in severity and number of earthquakes around the globe, and the severe storms happening more frequently.
Will there be a pole shift? Sudden or gradual?
Siberian mammoths were found completely submerged deep within the ice in what used to be a tropical climate. Other mammoths were found with food still in their mouths, as if they were frozen instantly while they were still eating. Researchers state that an instantaneous polar shift would be the number one cause of such an anomaly.
The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis suggests that there have been geologically rapid shifts in the relative positions of the modern-day geographic locations of the poles and the axis of rotation of the Earth, creating calamities such as floods and tectonic events.[1]
There is evidence of precession and changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time-scales and does not involve relative motion of the spin axis with respect to the planet. However, in what is known as true polar wander, the solid Earth can rotate with respect to a fixed spin axis. Research shows that during the last 200,000,000 years a total true polar wander of some 30° has occurred, but that no super-rapid shifts in the Earth's pole were found during this period.[2] A characteristic rate of true polar wander is 1° per million years or less.[3] Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the magnetic poles of the Earth shifted by ~155°.[4]
Possible Effects Of A Polar Shift
The effects of a polar shift would completely devastate the planet. While the idea of a polar shift may not sound too daunting, the aftermath would completely wipe out most of the human race. Since there is a connection between the tectonic plates and the Earth’s magnetic field, a polar shift would cause the land to peel off of the Earth, sort of like an orange. Massive volcanoes like no human has ever seen before will rise up where the tectonic plates meet. The tectonic plates would be causing havoc all over the Earth. Unprecedented volcanic eruptions can be expected.
There are at least six possible super volcanoes that scientists are well aware of today. These super volcanoes are spread about the world located in Yellow Stone National Park in the United States, New Zealand, and Japan. The eruption of super volcano would produce a massive shock wave that would wipe out life within a close radius. The disruption that will take place in the Earth’s crust if a polar shift occurred could cause these super volcanoes to erupt. New super volcanoes could also be formed as the Earth’s crust and tectonic plates are disturbed from a polar shift.
Of course with the disturbance in the tectonic plates, earthquakes that are off of the Richter scale will also occur. The tectonic plates that are located in the middle of the ocean would cause massive sized tsunamis that would wipe out life on the shore. Those are a just a few of the physical changes that will occur to the face of the Earth. Another popular theory is that the Earth’s magnetic field would no longer exist if a polar shift occurred. The Earth would then be exposed to harmful radiation and solar storms if our magnetic field were gone. Continents could be relocated as well.
One of the first things in our modern society that would disappear if a polar shift were to occur would be satellites and communications. Our power grids would be completely blown. And if the mass chaos that is expected actually occurs, people as a whole will have no means of communication with the rest of the world.
Life is we know will completely change following a polar shift. In fact, the climate as we know it would completely change. Areas that once experienced some of the hottest weather in the world could possibly become winter wastelands. Areas that once experienced extremely cold winters could be the next tropical regions. A change in weather may not sound daunting either, but the polar ice caps would melt due to the change in climate. The effects of the polar ice caps melting could be catastrophic for many areas. Massive world wide flooding would occur. Complete countries and continents could become large bodies of water and what once were large cities would become underwater ghost towns.

Speculation revolved around many different causes, the most popular one being the current magnetic polar shift. Although the hypothesis was dismissed as being unsupported by scientific evidence, that was not quite true.

Geoff : The ONLY astronomical events predicted for this date are:
1. The solstice (Sun reaches southernmost position): winter solstice in northern hemisphere and summer solstice in southern hemisphere. This happens EVERY year on this date.
2. Transit of Venus across the face of the Sun as seen from Saturn. This IS a planetary alignment, but the Earth is not part of it, only Venus and Saturn. 2 planets out of 8 is not very rare!

From Elizabeth Easel :
"Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36) This means that although people try to guess when the end will come, none of us can know for sure when it will come.
However, the Bible does give us signs to let us know when it is near. Consider these two passages:
Matthew 24:3-14: "While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: "Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?" And in answer Jesus said to them: "Look out that nobody misleads you; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. Youare going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that youare not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
"For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. "Then people will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."
2 Timothy 3:1-5: "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."
These things along with other Bible prophecies prove that we are deep in the last days of this old system, but there will be survivors who will be able to live forever on the perfect paradise earth that we were intended to live on. (Psalms 37:9-11, 29) Survival depends on our taking in knowledge of God and his Son, Jesus Christ as stated at John 17:3 This means we must study the Bible, and apply what we learn. To find out what your Bible teaches, see the following free e-book: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/…
Also, there are people who will say that these things have always been and things are not getting worse, but even scientists and other professionals are saying that the number of natural disasters have greatly increased in the 20th and 21st centuries when compared with other centuries. The same is true with the number of wars going on in the world. In fact, more people have died from WWI and WWII than from all the wars from 1 CE to 1900 CE. And just look at the crime being committed. Sure, man has killed man for millenia, but the sadistic manner in which one is killed or tortured is commonplace nowadays. There is definitely a tension in the air that makes a person feel that the end is near. If you are a discerning person, you will listen to the Bible's warnings before it is too late.

Throughout history, there have been many prophecies of the end of the world. Many which attempt to get specific end up being proven wrong by virtue of the world continuing to exist. Others haven't been proven yet one way or the other, because their dates haven't come yet. 2012 prophecies are among the latter group. More at: http://www.2012worldcountdown.com.
Offline, there have been some rumblings about 2012 prophecies, but online is where there are many mentions of this theory. Every forum seems to have at least one thread about 2012, bloggers who are willing to discuss things of this nature have jumped on it, and there are several sites about it.
Asteroid to Hit Earth 2012?
The truth is that yes, an asteroid will come very close to earth on December 21, 2012. This asteroid is called Toutatis, and it will pass what is, in astrological terms, quite close to the earth. It will be, at its closest, about 4,140,000 miles from the earth. That’s about 18 times the distance of the earth to the moon. As you can see, while this is close in astrological terms, it’s not really that close to the earth, and scientists do not consider it a serious threat at all. It will not hit the earth. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t asteroids out there that scientists haven’t noticed yet that will pass close to the earth, but so far, this isn’t the case.
