Guantanamo needs to be emptied out. That prison is hypocritical to US values & and a total waste of money- how many prisoners are left there? 20 something? A whole overseas military prison complex for 20-30 aging afghan/Pakistani/Arab prisoners who’ve been in solitary for 20 years.

There are plenty of other military prisons, they’re just inconveniently located in countries. Lawyer up and deal with it. That’s my rant. Close gitmo.

It appears several commenters are missing the point. I'm not downplaying human impact but we didn't kill La Nina with climate change; it's cyclical. La Nina ending is natural. In fact, it seemed the last La Nina hung around for longer than it typically does. Australia was expecting another La Nina season so they also get a bit of a reprieve.

People did own things before capitalism came around. Hell, I would even go as far as to say that the entire concept of owning things created by other people massively predates capitalism too. Shit, its almost like your argument that "only capitalism lets non-contributors own the contributions of others" is completely wrong.
