'Patient not getting better': 90 percent of German waters suffer from heat

The article reports that 90 percent of Germany's water bodies are suffering from heat stress, using the metaphor 'Patient wird nicht gesünder' (The patient does not get healthier).

The piece emphasizes the severity of the issue but does not provide detailed data or specific examples beyond the general statistic. It appears to present the situation as a significant environmental challenge without offering counterpoints or alternative perspectives.
