Winning the war on global warming requires slaughtering some of environmentalism's sacred cows. We can afford to ignore neither the carbon-free electricity supplied by nuclear energy nor the transformational potential of genetic engineering. We need to take advantage of the energy efficiencies offered by urban density. We must accept that the world's fastest-growing economies won't forgo a higher standard of living in the name of climate science — and that, on the way up, countries like India and China might actually help devise the solutions the planet so desperately needs.

All in all, it's a pretty good read. It breaks down the 10 recommendations further (just have to click the links on the right hand side).
A lot of suggestions would be out right refuted by a lot of environmentalists, but if you look at the whole picture, and not just the one part you are changing, I think they make a lot of sense.
Edit: Title is supposed to be Wired, not Wire. Could mod change it please and thanks.
