The Government don't seem to be in bed with the scientific establishment.
Two years after James E. Hansen, the leading climate scientist at NASA, and other agency employees described a pattern of distortion and suppression of climate science by political appointees, the agency’s inspector general has concluded that such activities occurred and were “inconsistent” with the law that established the space program 50 years ago.

They seem to be working against them.
However the Bush administration does give jobs to disgraced Enron executives who could not work in the industry again because of the fraud they had committed, and it does give large powers and tax breaks to oil multinationals.
So they are firmly on the side of the fossil fuel industry on this.
This is why the IPCC reports are so conservative.
I think that we are entering a new dark age when people like yourself are discarding what the scientists are saying about global warming and instead believing the entire field to be corrupt, at the bequest of your government and of fossil fuel multinationals.
I would say that when science is at odds with science then anything could be the case, but when science is at odds with industry, the church or the state, then the church, the state, or industry are the ones pulling the deceit.
