the weatherman and the geoligist said that the world could end in january or february 2011 because of the weather we've been having recently.
That is positively ridiculous.
such as earthquakes and all the snow we've been having
Earthquakes are no more intense or frequent now than at any time previously recorded. What we do see are more quakes being detected because the number of detection stations has grown exponentially over the last few decades. We also see a growing human population, which makes quakes that strike populated and/or poorly-prepared areas all the more devastating.
How exactly did this "weatherman" and "geologist" propose that a lot of snow will wipe out humanity by 2011? That's a completely absurd, baseless claim.
i was wondering if there is ANYTHING wether it be earthquakes,volcano,space,comet orf asteroid thanks.im kinda scared
Earthquakes — See above.
Volcanoes — If you don't live near an active volcano, you probably don't have anything to worry about. Even if you do, your chances of being killed in an eruption are pretty tiny, unless you're just completely oblivious and decide to take a swim in molten rock.
Comets & Asteroids — Any object large enough to harm our planet would be spotted years to decades ahead of time. There's nothing close to us right now that can do any kind of damage anytime soon. 99942 Apophis is a medium-sized asteroid (0.27 km) that will make close passes in 2029 and 2036, but its chances of collision are only 1 in 250,000 and will probably be less than that by the time it gets here. Even if it does hit our planet, it isn't large enough to do more than some regional damage. We're not in danger from any impacts, especially not in the coming weeks.
I don't know who you were listening to on the radio, but either you misunderstood them, or they were idiots.
