Man-made globalwarming

causes floods, hurricanes and also forest fires:
This is causing many casualties around the world, e.g. Lahaina, Maui.

The forest is a special being,
of unlimited goodness and affection,
which makes no demands

it offers shelter to all creatures
and gives shade even to the woodcutter,
who destroys it.
