Probably the last paragraph is the best:

The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral crusade when it's really an engineering problem. The inconvenient truth is that if we don't solve the engineering problem, we're helpless.

I had a feeling that you'd like to see it described as an engineering problem.

HOLY CARP!!!
Good article. If global warming was brought on by human activity I believe that all the efforts in the coming years will be like trying to bail the Titanic. I think if I was a believer I'd consider putting a gun in my mouth.

Very good article. Sometimes I'm especially glad I don't have kids.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
