In the election campaign, politicians and parties sometimes deliberately spread false facts about climate policy: AfD, but also parts of the CDU/CSU and FDP criticize renewable energies as expensive subsidy models with abbreviated data and propagate allegedly cheap electricity from nuclear energy or the widespread dismantling of wind turbines. Although distorted representations are not uncommon in election campaigns, experts are warning of a new level: Fake news is being used deliberately to discredit political opponents. And social imbalances in politics make it even easier to spread false reports.
