Terraforming or even just permanently living self-sufficiently on Mars is many orders of magnitude harder than stopping global warming, and you see how well we are doing there.
Mars is more hostile than earth even after a long time of humans fucking it up.
Oil will simply be more expensive and that's what will trigger change. People vote with their wallets, only a tiny proportion of the population has the luxury of doing anything but. Foolish to try to appeal to morality when most of the world lives paycheck to paycheck or worse.
On Mars we actually do want to create global warming and a greenhouse effect, so it's good that we know how :D
