One scientists, if he's on your list of credible scientists, is Einstein. http://www.december212012.com/articles/Albert-Einstein/Polar-Shift-by-2012.htm . A noteable historian, again, if you have him on your list of credible, is Charles Hapgood, who explains pole shifts.
Your link doesn't say Einstein theorized a pole shift in 2012. Einstein never did make that statement. The link also leaves out information about Hapgood's relationship with Einsten. Einstein did not support the pole shift hypothesis. Charles Hapgood wrote a book in the late 50's titled, Earth's Shifting Crust, which asserted that the Earth's entire crust sometimes shifted and it placed the poles at the equator. Hapgood's theory was before Plate Tectonics had become widely accepted and later proven. Einstein did not agree with Hapgood, he wrote the forward in his book. It was simply a word of encouragement towards Hapgood. Einstein simply found his idea interesting. He also found UFO's interesting; that isn't proof that UFO's exist.
Hapgood's theory has been proven wrong by plate tectonics. The world's crust is not one giant entity. It's made up of plates that float on the Mantle. It doesn't and can't shift suddenly to rearrange the poles. Like I said, stop getting information from pro-doomsday prophesy/pseudoscientific websites.

There has already been proof the poles have shifted, and yes, magnetic reversal is behind the whole phenomenon. As far as predicting when it will shift drastically...as for when the world ends, yes...that's always been the question. I'm just saying, looking at the statistics.....its coming.
Yes, Hapgood was a historian. So what qualifies him to make assertions about geology? Hapgood formed these theories while searching for Atlantis and the story behind it's destruction. He was a bit of a crackpot. Yes he was noted, but he wasn't widely followed. As I said, all of his theories have been debunked.
Your westerncritique link is a pro-BNP (British National Party) website that makes light of Holocaust deniers. It's basically filled with conspiracy theories. The article is laughable. Your assumption that Hapgood's theories involve magnetic pole shifts is absolutely wrong. Hapgood believed in a complete shift of the Earth's crust. It had nothing to do with magnetic pole reversal. The entire Earth's crust can't shift to reverse the polls; that's proven.
There is NO proof that the poles have shifted either geologically or magnetically. There are suspicions that it has occurred and can occur.
