Too many scientists abandoned accepted principles, destroying their own and others credibility, setting back their own cause. Like I said I'm not getting this from anyone's PR, this is from friends and close relatives (I have many in academia, all hard science types).
The reason they destroyed their credibility is because they tried to pin climate change on CO2, and it simply isn't true. The rise in temperatures is clearly linked to other industrial gases, such as sulfur hexafluoride, as well as any hydrofluorocarbon really. This is why the climate models with a CO2 bias failed so miserably.
The irony here is that it's not your car that is raising temperatures, it's the manufacturing of your solar panels that is.
Pretty much most of the climate change gases comes from China.
