Well I just googled it and found the website.
http://www.thehorizonproject.com/
I read the marketing spin on the font page and apart from saying the world ( as we know it ) was going to end the rest of the text contained no substance.
So I'm not sure we could label it as anything, never mind CT. It's all a bit vague. Didn't sell itself to me. Anyone with a real message would tell you what it was. This doesn't.

Well, it's not a classic CT, but it does seem to share some common themes.
The Horizon Project uses an unprecedented approach to deciphering the answers behind life's most puzzling questions; breaking through the flawed explanations of fragmented modern theory that compound each year to further mask the truth. See the overwhelming scientific evidence previously lost and re-discover the shocking answers that have been under our noses all along.
This is the classic CT "connect-the-dots" thinking, applied to science rather than politics. Of course, science is interconnected, but I doubt it's in the way they think it is. The idea that the truth is "masked" by our present knowledge is a very common CT meme.
Of course, they don't seem to think that the agents behind this "masking" are humans, but rather, the natural forces of the universe:
Global catastrophic events throughout our past have severed the flow of information from one generation to the next, creating permanent gaps in history and knowledge. Civilizations that came before us knew of the upcoming inevitable catastrophe, leaving behind major clues that have just been recently discovered. The knowledge that was once lost is the missing link that provides a clear understanding of how our world truly operates. Ironically, these clues also inform us that time is running out; sooner than you may believe.
It looks to be some sort of 2012-like catastrophism that is borrowing memes from CT thinking. Sort of a woo-hybrid, if you will.
You might find more information asking about it in the General Skepticism forum.

There's a bit of an intro with this YouTube video. Read some of the comments to see how they're blending CT ideas with other types of woo.

I think a more imminent enemy or problem we face is the people & foundations that are running everything into the ground. Instead of worrying about flying asteroids & other things that "may" happen,let's worry about meaningless wars, gas prices that rise for no reason other than to rape us, & bank bailouts that take the rest! We have a common enemy on our planet & it's not the space men-it's the New World Order! Watch the video "Wake Up Call" on Youtube to really watch something that's scary!

If you truly understood The Horizon Project you would realize that it is all connected. The events explained are not things that "may" happen but are things that WILL happen. The current global events also indicate that some of these events are right around the corner. The hardship you are seeing now is only the beginning and nothing compared to what is coming. Good luck.

good commment it is all connected.just jumbled in the illusion of conspiracy..the truth is there if youu want to see it, but most are to scared and dont want to believe.
Bracing4Tomorrow is the fellow who posted the video.
This sort of hybridization of woo memes shows why it's necessary to address all types of woo. If irrational ideas are allowed to flourish in one area, they will tend to expand out into other areas - like mental weeds.
ETA: also, note the absolute faith shown in they're ideas: "The events explained are not things that "may" happen but are things that WILL happen." Does that sound like science to anyone here?

One of the guys involved bills himself (http://www.thehorizonproject.com/team.cfm) as follows:
Dr. Agnew was a featured scientist in the 1997 Wendy Robbins documentary on HAARP.
'nuff said.

Just more of the old the-end-is-nigh bullcrap.
These guys are just pretending to be scientists:
Brent Miller, who claims to have worked on "incorporation of the artificial intelligence systems into the F-16 fighter jet". AFAIK the 16 doesn't have AI. What it does have is Fly-by-Wire. I'll find out some more on this ******* who also claims to have been an exec with "several fortune 500 companies". Further, he is "a crucial member of the Remote Viewing research" which gives you an idea of what a great scientist he is.
"Dr. Agnew has co-authored two landmark publications on the creation of the earth, The Ark of Millions of Years, Volumes One and Two." Nuff said.
michael tsarion, leader of the taroscopic mystery school is also a leading figure.
As you can see they are quite mad. And they want your money.

I guess some other kooks were jealous at all the Internet Publicity that the kooks who created "The Venus Project" were getting.

I'm going to create "The Pluto Project". The plan is to round up all the anarchists/communists/Conspiracy Theorists and send them all to Pluto.
