Don't get me wrong, it is a PR effort indeed. However, the mere fact they jumped ship on the largest, most powerful organization attempting to discredit the good scientific research out there on GW is a good sign.
I don't blame big oil for our current problem(even though in 1896 Svante Arrhenius suggested that burning fossile fuels could cause a Green House effect), I do however, blame them for trying to create the illusion that GW doesn't exist or that man has nothing to do with it.
BTW...I happened on another GW/alternate fuel documentry last night, again sponsered by BP. I've not yet checked on this fact, but BP claims to be the largest solar power producer in the world...well, next to the Sun that is
