Im Spätsommer 2017 entstanden im Atlantik drei Hurrikans auf einmal, die sich zunächst hintereinander in die gleiche Richtung bewegten, wie aufmarschierende Soldaten.57 Hurrikan Harvey brachte, als er auf das Festland traf, einen derartig starken Sturzregen über Houston, dass mancherorts von einem »500 000-Jahres-Ereignis« die Rede war – was bedeutete, dass eine solche Niederschlagsmenge dort eigentlich nur alle 500 Jahrtausende zu erwarten wäre.58 Aufmerksame Beobachter von Umweltnachrichten wissen bereits, wie bedeutungslos der Klimawandel derartige Formulierungen gemacht hat.
In the late summer of 2017, three major hurricanes arose in the Atlantic at once, proceeding at first along the same route as though they were battalions of an army on the march. Hurricane Harvey, when it struck Houston, delivered such epic rainfall it was described in some areas as a “500,000-year event”—meaning that we should expect that amount of rain to hit that area once every five hundred millennia. Sophisticated consumers of environmental news have already learned how meaningless climate change has rendered such terms, which were meant to describe storms that had a 1-in-500,000 chance of striking in any given year.
