In #8 we looked at the overview on floods. The IPCC report, AR6, says:
Flooded area is difficult to measure or quantify and, for this reason, many of the existing studies on changes in floods focus on streamflow. Thus, this section assesses changes in flow as a proxy for river floods, in addition to some types of flash floods.

Here’s what the report says in plain English:
Peak streamflow has reduced overall – decreased in more places than it has increased. This is opposite to the trend in extreme rainfall.
