Back in June I left a comment on a YouTube video featuring the audio of David Morrison from one of his Cosmophobia and 2012 speeches. I was a bit surprised earlier today when that comment, the only one on the video, got a response from a YouTube User named "RockWillLiveOn".
My original comment was:
Morrison is awesome… he's been fighting this hoax for years now. I'm also jazzed he likes our website.
Again, this was posted in June 2010. Today I received an email notification of a reply. The user said:
@2012hoaxdotorg When are you going to open your eyes and realize this is NOT a hoax? Morrison, as a NASA space scientist, does nothing but ramble on and on about nothing and occasionally makes painfully unfunny jokes.
A super solar storm is heading our way in 2012, and scientists are agreeing on a massive coronal ejection, a pole reversal and a pole shift… the end of our life on earth.
My reply to him earlier today was:
@RockWillLiveOn Uhhuh… and what evidence do you have of this? What "scientists" are saying this, and where are they saying it? As far as I can tell, the only people saying anything remotely like this are the pseudo-scientists like Geryl.
So this evening I received a pair of replies. The first one:
@2012hoaxdotorg Well, let's use Geryl as an example. Look up "Project Camelot interviews Patrick Geryl" on youtube. It's a long interview but about 3/4 of the way through, the interviewers reveal that a scientist had contacted them before the interview and it had verified Geryl's claims BEFORE he said them in the interview!
Now, Michio Kaku came out this year to say that the sunspot cycle of 2012 will be a "once in a lifetime super solarstorm"
Polar shifts and ice ages are caused by the sun!
And the second:
@2012hoaxdotorg So sure, the Mayan propehices, the Egyptians' Hall of Records, the I-ching, and the Bible may all just be ancient texts and stories, and it may be a bit of an overexaggeration to believe a 2012 doomsady based purely out of those contexts, but you have to examine what's happening scientifically in this world. You actually think that global warming is contributed to when you start your car in the morning? Give me a break! It's the sun heating up the earth!
