No we can't talk about gun violence after a shooting! Have empathy! We shouldn't talk about war right after an invasion, think of the people there.
Well, when the hell is it okay to talk about climate change? After years of rebuilding when no one cares again, just in time for an even strong storm? You, yes you right here, should be absolutely pissed about climate change. Oil companies and major polluters are causing this, you should abso-fuckin-lutely want to be talking about it
So when would it be appropriate to talk about the causes of the increasing frequency of natural disasters in your opinion?

If I went through something terrible, having somebody else say exactly why it happened would make me feel better, not attacked or used for some purpose.
The only reason I wouldn't want to hear someone say exactly how the fuck it happened is if I wanted the causes to barrel forward unmitigated.
