deforestation is a major problem in the world. without trees on hill sides, the earth will have noting to hold it up, this will cause erosion. 1800 Philippines died after a land slide covered their town, deforestation had caused this. without trees, there is noting to take in the carbon-dioxide. more of it is left in the atmosphere causing globule warming.Another cause of globule warming is when heat reflects of the earth and back into the air. Trees absorb heat.
Trees, next to rivers, soak up water. if there were no trees, the rivers or lakes will overflow causing flooding.

On the last day my eldest sister went crazy and tore up all my brand new books. my aunt didn't look too happy about that, she had paid for the book :(

Shang-chi
Shang chi
is a marvil comics character, often called the "Master of Kung Fu". He was created by writer Steve Englehart and artist Jim Starlin. He has no special superpowers, but he exhibits extraordinary skills in the martial arts and is a master of Wushu (a general name for the various Chinese styles) both empty handed and with weapons, including the staff, nunchaku and double-edged sword.
The series began by introducing Shang-Chi as a man raised by his father Fu Manchu to be the ultimate lackey for the would-be world conqueror. However, his first mission, in which he killed one of his father's old enemies, Dr. Petrie, ended with Shang-Chi learning of Fu Manchu's true, evil nature. Disillusioned, Shang-Chi swore eternal opposition to his father's ambitions and fought him as an agent of British intelligence, under the orders of Nayland Smith.
The series was an instant sales success.
"Finally, the day had come. While still a teen, he was given his first mission outside the walls of his father’s retreat in Honan, China. He was to assassinate his father’s enemy. As he knew nothing but that his father was a great humanitarian and savior of mankind, Shang-Chi felt nothing short of unquestioning loyalty. He stole into his victim’s home in Mayfair, London, and delivered his killing strike! Almost immediately, he was confronted by another of his father’s enemies, Sir Denis Nayland Smith, who told Shang-Chi the truth about his father’s evil deeds. Shang-Chi’s mastery of kung-fu enabled him to escape, but he sought out his mother, who confessed the truth as well. Shang-Chi, finally aware of his father’s manipulations, declared himself to be his father’s mortal enemy, devoting his life to the overthrow of his criminal empire."
