ברכות נט,א

When one tells his friend, look at the rainbow, it is considered lashan hara. But why? Maybe he is telling him to do teshuva? The Klei Yokor explains the meaning that at the time of Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai there was no rainbow seen but it does not say there was no rainbow. Since there were tzadikim, they really did not care about seeing a rainbow as the tzadik protected them. According to this, the lashan hara is that we have no tzadikim to protect us.
