You obviously can't read,
much less understand what you're reading.

Let me quote the part about polarities and polerized gravity waves
here for all to see:

The cosmic microwave background
is polarized at the level of a few microkelvins.
There are two types of polarization, called E-modes and B-modes.
This is in analogy to electrostatics, in which the electric field
( E-field ) has a vanishing curl and the magnetic field
( B-field ) has a vanishing divergence.
The E-modes arise naturally from Thomson scattering
in an inhomogeneous plasma. The B-modes, which have not been measured
and are thought to have an amplitude of at most a 0.1 µK,
are not produced from the plasma physics alone.

They are a [ polerized ] signal from _Cosmic_Inflation_
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
and are determined by the density of primordial _Gravitational_Waves_.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
Detecting the B-modes will be extremely difficult,
particularly given that the degree of foreground contamination is unknown,
and the weak gravitational lensing signal mixes
the relatively strong E-mode signal with the B-mode signal.

That article then cites this:

A. Lewis and A. Challinor (2006).
" Weak gravitational lensing of the CMB ". Phys. Rep.

Weak Gravitational_Lensing has several important effects on
the cosmic microwave background (CMB):
it changes the CMB power spectra,
induces non-Gaussianities, and
generates a B-mode polarization signal
that is an important source of confusion for
the signal from primordial Gravitational_Waves.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
The lensing signal can also be used
to help constrain cosmological parameters and lensing mass distributions.
We review the origin and calculation of these effects.
Topics include: lensing in General Relativity, the lensing potential,
lensed temperature and polarization power spectra,
implications for constraining _Inflation_, non-Gaussian structure,
^^^^^^^^^
reconstruction of the lensing potential, delensing,
sky curvature corrections, simulations, cosmological parameter estimation,
cluster mass reconstruction, and moving lenses/dipole lensing.

As I've point out many times before,
Cosmic_Inflation is an artificial model of the Planck_Length transition,
and it explains nothing that an ever-constant lambda wouldn't explain better
and with much, much more evidence.
