If this happens, the Poles will be moved into the equatorial zone, and there will be massive earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, and massive flooding...

why do you think this? It will probably mess up the navigation abilities of pigeons and other migratory birds, but it isn't like the earth is going to change its axis.

And there's no indication of where the poles will shift. There is no reason to think that they will move to equatorial zones. It is generally a 180deg flip flop that takes several thousand years to transition. The reason you have geologic records that shows equatorial regions as polar regions is due to continental drift. For example, the coal regions of the eastern united states were in equatorial zones in the carboniferous period (approx 300million years ago).

Re: 2012: largely portrayed as some type of special cataclysmic event. There seems to be no reason to think so.

Suggest you check out the astronomy of 2012 according to Thomas Razzeto:

We could have a close encounter with an extra solar system object at any time, i.e., an object that becomes a comet upon entering into our solar system when it discharges the solar capacitor per the astronomical work of James McCanney at jmccanneyscience.com
