[Wikimedia-l] Carbon footprints on Wikipedia.

Even those who fight for inclusion of the facts about climate change
on Wikipedia aren't very likely to follow the peer reviewed secondary
literature when it comes to reporting the extent of changes in extreme
weather.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Extreme_weather&action=history
has some good examples, with more going back years.

There's really no way to get Wikipedia to correctly reflect
controversial topics unless you are willing to invest the time it
takes to counter conflicted interest editing.

Good luck!
