Eine Grafik des Umweltbundesamtes über Spitzenabflüsse in Fließgewässern beweist, dass Hochwasserereignisse weder häufiger noch schlimmer auftreten.
Publisher’s rating: Die Grafik zeigt zwar tatsächlich Pegelstände, aber nur die an ausgewählten Flüssen. Kleine Gewässer wie etwa die Ahr, deren Hochwasser im Sommer 2021 mehr als 180 Menschen das Leben kostete, kommen gar nicht in den Daten vor. Von der Grafik auf die Abwesenheit des Klimawandels zu schließen, hält das UBA für «unseriös».
