These Wikipedia pages are significantly better than some pages I've seen in the past. There is at least one reference behind nearly every fact that is listed and those references are often scientific papers. I detected no bias in the articles I scanned, but that may be because I'm generally of the belief that climate change is real and that science is a reliable way of knowing things about the world. On the climate change page, they spend a lot of time describing the physical evidence for climate change. I think devoting a lot of space to this is particularly important because to understand climate change you also have to understand its causes. Some of the citation links weren't working for me, but I can still copy and paste the article title or the DOI and find it in google scholar. I'm glad the Climate Change page is semi-protected because there are certainly climate change deniers who would put falsified information in there to serve their own political agendas. When I glanced at the talk page, someone brought up the interesting point that there are several pages called things like "anthropogenic climate change" or "anthropogenic climate variability" that link back to the same page. There is also another page entitled "Human impact on the environment". Page paths and links can get pretty convoluted when there are so many people working on one giant collaborative website.
