Nor is it a 'defeatist attitude' to point out that reality tends to stomp idealism into the ground.

I'm not exactly sure what's idealistic about saying that we need to start taking action to avoid some pretty drastic consequences. Seems to me the idealist point of view would be to say that we can keep going at the rate we are and expect everything to work it's way out.
Look, I get not wanting to topple the apple cart, but there definitely needs to be a higher sense of urgency from the entire world community than what we've seen so far.
