So, I don't want to be a whacko or anything, but... this is the plot of 2012, the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_(film)#Plot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_(film)#Plot In the film, solar flares and sunspot activity are blamed for altering radioactivity levels in the earth's core, causing it to rise and the earth's crust to melt, leading to worldwide, CGI-friendly apocalypse. The thing is, in 2009, when 2012 was filmed, nobody knew there was any linkage at all between sunspots and radioactivity. We thought the rate of decay was constant, and the science behind the film was bullshit. These guys hadn't published yet -- correct me if I'm wrong. Now it's still obviously bullshit -- the change caused by sunspot activity is not nearly big enough to affect the planet's temperature materially -- but there is a linkage. Which is, y'know, weird.
