This first video details the hysterical-yet-sad story of John Negroponte, back when he was Bush's Director of National Intelligence, attempting to avoid the wrath of the White House by mentioning the words "Global" and "Warming" back to back.
Apparently, it was something of a game to get him to say them in the same sentence...

The second is an excerpt from a Democratic-run hearing on political influence on government climate change scientist. Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, a Democrat, asks Dr. Drew Shindell (no slouch he) what he thinks of several edits by Bush's Office of Management and Budget and by the Council on Environmental Quality, run by a lawyer who used to work for the American Petroleum Institute.
Guess what he says...
