On January 9, the History Channel will be airing an episode on Apocalypse Island. 

Does a remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean hold the final clue to the Mayan’s apocalyptic predictions concerning 2012? One explorer thinks he’s discovered the answers that have eluded man for centuries. Jim Turner stumbled on this remote artifact over a decade ago and has spent the past ten years preparing an expedition to prove that this is the place they foretold that the gods would come to watch the final minutes of civilization as we know it.

I know that I, for one, will be glued to my TV for this one.  I’m not normally one of those “Doom and Gloom” type of people.  But this 2012 thing has me a bit concerned.  So I’ve been doing all the research I can to find out if everything they’re saying is going to happen is really going to happen or not.

Is there anything that they can do to survive the 2012 apocalypse, whether it be caused by a passing planet’s (Nibiru, Eris, or Planet X) gravitational field, climate change incited by man, or a solar maximum that causes geomagnetic reversal?
