Letters to the Editor: HIV killed my beloved. Climate change killed my beloved’s majestic pine tree

LA Times  

To the editor: In 1995, my domestic partner’s friends and I scattered his ashes in the Angeles National Forest under a magnificent pine. “David’s tree,” as I came to call it, had a large trunk with evidence of previous fires it had survived. When I would visit the tree, the wind in the millions of needles would sound like a voice from heaven speaking a language I could only try to comprehend. It seemed like David’s tree would live forever, or at least longer than me, a mere human. Evidence of climate change abounds in the mountains near Los Angeles, but many more residents treasure the coast.
