What's wrong with the idea?
It's a non-issue meant to deflect from real problems. It's also summer, so there's nothing going on and the news are blowing everything out of proportion.
Analysis of the whole thing (in German):

There is a lot going on in Austria. It's just that it is climate change related floodings, and far-right people don't like that kind of debate.
It's really disgusting how even the media covered it for only a week and then didnt mention it again. I guess the Ahrtal only became such a big thing in Germany because of the absence of warnings and resulting deaths.
