![1. The head of the COP28 climate summit, who is the CEO of an oil company, recently defended fossil fuels.
Al Jaber: "I don't think [you] will be able to help solve the climate problem by pointing fingers or contributing to the polarization and the divide that is already happening in the world."
2. Curiously enough, the fossil fuel tycoon and climate disinformation spreader Charles Koch is funding an institute to study the issue of polarization.
Koch at desk writing a check with framed pictures on the wall reading "Tea Party founding father" and "Heartland Institute".
Koch: America's political divide -- so sad!
3. It seems the concept of "polarization" is a trojan horse for allowing corruption without opposition.
Sign on wall says "Welcome to COP28". Two protesters hold signs reading "PHASE OUT NOW" and "OUR FUTURE IS FOSSIL FREE."
American oil executive: These kids are so angry and uncouth.
Middle eastern oil executive: Truly they are the world's greatest problem.
4. The future is sure to be harmonious.

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •polarization and division are two different notions : a magnet is polarized but not divided…
polarization is unavoidable because of the differences in people's inclinations and knowledge of issues... it's not problematic at all, and in fact it's a healthy part of the democratic process : opposition leads to common ground, lack of opposition leads to extremes and abuses…
division is problematic since it implies that communications are cut, and so common ground cannot be reached…
