Yep, just like the perennial (and nominally true) favorites

"yellowstone will blow up and cripple western civilization"

"a solar storm will blow up our nation's telecommunications infrastructure"

"a super-flu will kill 30% of americans"

[fao_]

Eh? The latter two are nominally true. They could happen whenever, but so far haven't. The former two will definitely happen we just don't know the time scale.

Yellowstone is on a timer that we don't have access to, and there are projects to drill down into it and deplete the heat, giving us electricity and solving the problem.

With respect to the magnetic pole, this is something that is actually happening. Observe
