the climate has never been "stable" on this globe. We are not in an "ice age", you'll notice the lack of kilometer or two of ice over N. America. We are in an "interglacial" that is 12,000 years old, and that has nothing to do with humans. All that time the sea level has been rising, and if you look it up charts you'll see even the rate of rise for much of that time has been much faster than today's rate

Really, get a grip on your imagined phobias.

no, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would let the president release prisoners to countries that would accept them...but guess what? no one wants them.

Also, under that law the president could release the prisoners at the time hostilities against Al Qaeda are declared over. but that fight is not over. in fact, with the way the "war" in Afghanistan done, Al Qaeda was driven to many, many other nations. Our "war" with Iraq turned that country, where Al Qaeda wasn't, into a recruiting and playground for Al Qaeda.

So Gitmo is going to stay open and full of prisoners for a long, long time until such time as Congress makes new law. The President's hands are tied.
