feedback to CBC on Kyoto

Ref. cbc.ca Kyoto Protocol Backgrounder updated october 2006
I sent the following feedback to the CBC:
How can the editor have approved this article? There are two significant lapses in professional judgment:
1- the perpetuation of the "myth" that there is still discord in the scientific community over the relationship between GHGs and global warming. If it were true, which according to many recent articles isn't, then the sources of the "vocal minority" should be identified.
2- printing Ms Ambrose's statement ("the Liberal party failed Kyoto") is a cheap, divisive partisan slur that is left unbalanced in the article.
These two elements indicate a strong bias for the Conservative government and critically undermines your credibility. I caution you to restore the professionalism that you once had and which had earned my respect.
