Hello everyone
Welcome to the class
The article we are going to discuss today is about fish
the red herring.
Do you know it.
A herring is a soft-finned bony fish.
People who like to eat herring have long preserved them
by salting and slowly smoking them.
That process makes a herring turn red
or dark brown
and gives them a very strong smell.
Dogs love to sniff such smelly treats
a fact that makes the fish a perfect diversion for anyone
trying to distract hunting dogs from the trail of their quarry.
The practice of using preserved fish to confuse hunting dogs
led to the use of the term red herring
for anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.
You may be curious about what is the green red herring.
Green here does not refer to the color
but the preserving of environmental quality.
Before we start
let's get some background knowledge about renewable energy.
That is the end of this part
and next time we will continue our discussion.
See you next time
