That quote really misses the mark, it has little to do with this. What it is saying is that it is evidence that matters and I'd presume scientists who support MMGW have looked at the evidence.

Wikipedia is simply an Encyclopedia and is just as valid, if not more so, than alot of the links you have there.
It is quite clear that most scientists, particularly those in the relevant fields support the theory of MMGW.
