I am not talking about false equivalence; I think we agree that generally one does not see false equivalence so much. What one does see is polarisation and division. If the interrogation of issues is not fair and thorough and the outcome is a resistance to climate action, then that is ultimately a failure. RTE may say it is a success because it has given the topic a platform, but it is not really because if there is resistance to whatever might be required on the ground, then we are not getting anywhere.
