I mean, we’re still working on convincing people that climate change is actually happening, so if they want to keep reporting the 100yr storms that happen every year now, that’s fine by me.
There is a huge difference between "once per location per 100yr" and "once per 100yr".
Every year there is at least one hurricane Katrina equivalent storm in the world. Having one in New Orleans is once in hundreds of years. Anywhere on the gulf coast is once in, IDK, a dozen.
So you can pretty easily lie and mislead (accidentally or not the results are the same) by not being super careful about scope.
