Red herring is a logical fallacy that misleads readers or audiences from a relevant or important issue towards a false conclusion.

Example: There is a lot of commotion regarding saving the environment. We cannot make this world an Eden. What will happen if it does become an Eden? Adam and Eve got bored there!

-The idea of Adam and Eve getting bored in Eden throws the listeners off the real issue of the environment.
