"If it takes [mistruth] to get [policy change I want], isn't that a good thing?" vs. education and truth? Where does that slippery slope end?

It ends that it isn’t a complete mistruth, just a small hyperbole. The massive bushfires we’re still experiencing are real, the hail storms that followed were real and the 40+ days in hazardous air quality since 1 Dec are also real. As is the past 20 years of drought my country has experienced.

These events were definitively contributed to by climate change, perhaps not direct cause and effect as some assume, but there is more than just correlation.
