Earthquakes and hurricanes striking the East Coast within days of each other. Extreme droughts in one part of the nation, while floods devastate in another; and who could forget last year’s “Snowmageddon.” Violent weather and odd seismic events have fueled beliefs that the world is due to end in December 2012, but physics professor Christopher Keating says that’s a false prediction unnecessarily fueling fears...
