and surely in hurricane-prone Florida where the phrase "climate change" is verboten can communicate productively with storm victims without being "very insensitive."
Officials should not mention climate change when meeting with or hugging storm victims.
Officials should instead say "projections of future climate over the U.S. suggest that the recent trend towards increased heavy precipitation events will continue" when meeting with or hugging storm victims.
That'll be helpful and effective.

and surely in hurricane-prone Florida where the phrase "climate change" is verboten can communicate productively with storm victims without being "very insensitive."
Officials should not mention climate change when meeting with or hugging storm victims.
Officials should instead say "projections of future climate over the U.S. suggest that the recent trend towards increased heavy precipitation events will continue" when meeting with or hugging storm victims.
