Jesus christ
Jesus of Nazereth was born 7-2BC/BCE to 26-36AD/CE in Nazereth/Galilee
He was concidered as the son of god and the central figure of christianity. Muslims beleived jesus as a prophet and many other religions consider him an important figure. Most scholars in the feilds of history and biblical studies agree that jesus was a galilean jew who was regarded as a teacher and a healer. It is also generally accepted that he was baptized by john the baptist, and crucified in jeruselem on the orders of roman prefect judaea pontius pilate, on the charge of sedition against the roman empire.
According to the new testament he rose on the third day after his death.
In Islam Jesus is considered as one of gods most important prophets a bringer of scripture and a worker of miracles. Jesus is also called messiah but muslims do not beleive he was divine.Islam denies the death and ressurection of jesus instead they thought that he ascended bodily to heaven.
According to luke jesus was 30 when he was baptized.Mark tells us that jesus was a carpenter.Matthew tells us he was the son of a carpenter however the gospel word is Tekton which means builder in which he could have been an artisan.
Christianity has been linked to european colonialism, some have argued that through Bartolome De Las Casas defense of the indigenous inhabitants of spains new world empire, one of the legacies of jesus is the notion of universal human rights.

climate change in Greenland
Greenland has an arctic climate, but owing to its size there are variations in weather.winters can be severe and summers can be mild.The coast has no ice on it.The total area of greenland measures 2,166,086km2 of which the greenland icesheet covers 1,755,637km2.
about 81% of greenlands surface is covered in ice.the extreme north of greenland is not covered in ice because the air is to dry to produce ice and snow which is essntial to make an ice sheet.if the greenland ice sheet were to melt away sea levels would rise by 7m and greenland would become an archipelago.(a chain of or cluster of islands)the temperature there has risen 6 degrees between 1991-2004.
What are the effects of global warming on greenland?
The effects In southwestern Greenland, for example, the grass-growing season gets longer each year, boosting productivity for some 60 sheep farms now established in the region. Up to 23,500 sheep and lambs are slaughtered annually. Dairy cattle have recently been reintroduced, and a government-led project is expected to yield 29,058 gallons (110,000 litres) of milk annually.
"The warmer climate will have a definite positive effect on Greenland's economic possibilities and development," the report said.
How are the animals effected?
According to the Arctic Climate Impact Assessement, the largest study ever conducted on the effects of warming in the Arctic, winter temperatures above the 63rd parallel have increased on average, by 2 to 5 degrees over the past 50 years and could rise by yet another 10. That increase is having a dramatic effect on the wildlife, environment and culture of the high Arctic. In an interview for the Arctic climate impact assessement Project, a Savissavik hunter said hunters are spending more time in the fjords (rather than on the sea ice) because there is less sea ice on which to hunt seal, walrus and polar bear. He also said that hunters who net seals under the ice in winter must pull in those nets within hours after an animal is caught. Worms and parasites that the hunters have never seen before rapidly riddle and destroy the carcasses if they are left in the water very long. Eliassen says he believes the parasites have moved north with the warmer water.
how are the inuit people affected?
People worry about the polar bear becoming extinct by 2070 because there will be no ice from which they can hunt seals, but the Inuit face extinction for the same reason and at the same time. Among the problems the Inuit face is permafrost melting, which has destroyed the foundations of houses, eroded the seashore and forced people to move inland. Airport runways, roads and harbours are also collapsing.

THE SLOTHS
Appearence
They have long gray or brown hair that camoflages in well with the environment, making it difficult for predators such as the jaguar to see them. Their hair is often covered with a coat of blue-green algae during the rainy season. This algae provides camouflage. They grow to a length of between one and a half and two and a half feet (in about 2 1/2 years). Their ancestor, the Giant Ground Sloth, which lived before the last ice age, reached the size of the modern elephant
Food and Drink
They eat leaves and buds. The two-toed species eats twigs, fruits, and small prey. Their low rate of metabolism enables them to live on hardly no food. Their teeth grow continuously, as they are worn down by the grinding of their food. They don't drink but get their water from eating juicy leaves & licking dewdrops.
Lifespan
The probable maximun sloth lifespan is between 30 and 40 years. Some sloths in zoos have reached these ages.
Habitat loss and logging the rainforest has killed off there home and to save them we could put them in sections of the rainforest and only log parts of the rainforest otherwise these beuatiful creatures will be extinct and gone from the face of the earth. we should kill the illegal loggers
