In a \href{http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.5738}{paper} that appeaered appeared  yesterday, the collaboration behind the european satellite \href{http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Planck}{Planck} reported that the amount of foreground dust present in the line of sight of BICEP2 instruments is exactly enough to explain the observed signal, previously attributed to cosmological inflation. While it could still be that part of the polarization signal is coming from inflation, it would require two very different, unrelated phenomena to contribute at a very similar level. Which statistically speaking is unlikely.
