Is the magnetic pole shift a harbinger of 2012?
The recent articles on the Tampa airport needed to change their runway signs because of the magnetic pole shift leads a person to wonder: Could the present shift in the poles be connected with the 2012 phenomenon in which some people think that with the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar on December 21, 2012, the world will also end.
According to a Mail Online article:

The latest changes are the most dramatic in a century – the pole had been begun moving to the northeast at about 9 miles per year in 1904 but since 2007 has been racing towards Siberia by at least 35 miles each year.
This could mean that prior to 1904 instruments had not yet been invented that could measure pole shift and that the poles had always been shifting. Therefore, if magnetic pole shift has occurred over the centuries and millennia, it would mean that it would not be associated with the 2012 phenomenon.
