I second what Brumar said. Climategate confirmed the charges of the skeptics that the science itself has been politicized and corrupted by a cabal of AGW alarmists. The reason? One they themselves touted in the 1990s: we can't wait until we have proof, the stakes are too high, they said. So they turned their thesis into orthodoxy. Climate science became climate religion. So we can't leave it to the scientists until we break the cabal. Only then can the scientists make their arguments.

The charges again Hansen, Trenberth, and Mann are backed by evidence marshaled by scientists like Roy Spencer and Richard Lindzen. In return, they get ad hominems about being paid for by Exxon, as if the money flows weren't hugely on the other side. The hounding of critics, the yells about "the science is settled" and "consensus" should give you a hint that they AGW alarmists do not actually have solid evidence on their side. If they had, they would produce the evidence.

I don't know where George W. Bush comes into this. The whole argument predates Bush. And Hansen still has his government job, doesn't he? So how is it Bush's fault? Because he agreed with the entire US Senate that Kyoto was a lousy idea?
