83-year-old grandmother Brigitte Stegemann was euthanized against her will in Canada.
She declined MAiD, citing her Christian faith and her preference for a natural death.
Her granddaughter and primary caregiver was away on a 10-day vacation when staff reportedly held private conversations with Brigitte to convince her to die by lethal injection.
They reportedly claimed she had agreed to be killed, despite there being no evidence of her consent.
On the day of her death, her family says she remained silent, with her hands in a prayer position, and did not give the final verbal confirmation they had been assured would be required.
The injection proceeded anyway, and she was killed on July 10.
@volcaholic1 Just accept that the coral reefs are growing back faster than ever before you climate believers always gotta find negatives about everything!
British people want to know how much this is costing taxpayers. What is becoming apparent to all is that these bus loads and boatloads of illegal immigranta are just going to keep coming - night after night, month after month, year after year u til there is nothing left of British culture & Britain as a nation. That is the globalist plan at work.
@volcaholic1 It amazes me that people do not understand the difference between the First Amendment and his decision to ban certain parties from the White House. SCOTUS has already spoken on this several times.
@volcaholic1 I had similar thoughts about the UK when I heard the horrible stories of rape gangs and the decade long cover ups by the government due to fear of being called a racist. Have you taken to the streets to protect your women and children?
CO₂ makes up roughly four-hundredths of one percent of the atmosphere, playing its priceless role in photosynthesis and the green web of life.
Meanwhile, water vapor varies up to 4% of the atmosphere, with cloud cover shading nearly 70% of the globe at any given moment — a fluid system orders of magnitude larger in thermal volume.
Combine that with the vast thermal inertia of the ocean abyss and the slow, relentless clockwork of the Milankovitch cycles, and the real geometry of the planet falls into place.
Earth's climate has always been in this state of endless change, imbalance, flux and readjustment — yet never because of a single trace gas.
Consider our ocean world: covering 72% of the surface to an average depth of 2.3 miles, holding 91% of the planet's heat and carbon reservoirs. The top three meters of the oceans hold as much heat energy as the entire atmosphere above it. When evaluating the planetary thermostat, the oceans are the engine; the atmosphere is merely the exhaust gas.
Water vapor, clouds, storms, winds and solar cycles all combine to endlessly redistribute heat. Water vapor isn't a static blanket — it's a massive, continuous phase-change engine, moving heat from surface to sky through evaporation, condensation, and cloud cover that reflects sunlight back into space before it even hits the deck.
Our planet rebalances itself without our permission or help.
How much time does Homo sapiens have left to get it right? Most species last roughly a million years before the lights go out. Scientists estimate there are around 8.7 million multicellular species on Earth, yet the vast majority — 86% on land, 91% in the sea — remain undiscovered, to say nothing of the trillions of microbes driving the foundational cycles underneath our feet.
Deep biological time, species diversity, the might of the sun-moon system, and the orbital clockwork of the Milankovitch cycles tell the hard back story of Earth's epic trek across the millennia.
Since the 1980s, the Sahara has shrunk by roughly 8%. Satellite data show widespread greening, a pattern that is playing out across the planet.
Around 50% of Earth's vegetated land has become significantly greener, an area roughly three times the size of the United States.
The dominant driver is not rainfall or land use change, it is rising atmospheric CO2. Higher CO2 lets plants photosynthesize more efficiently, they lose less water, they tolerate heat and dryness better.
The effect is strongest along desert margins - across the Sahel, the Middle East, Australia's interior and the southern edge of the Sahara.
Rising CO2 is making the deserts, and the planet as a whole, greener.
