The thing is, there is no cohesion amongst the religious right on eschatology, even within denominations, so it is a bullshit POV.
Does the right (religious and less so) put forth legislation that respects the earth? No, not so much. And we're earthings (religion aside) and have to live here (and the religious amongst us know or should--that we are to be good stewards of that put in our charge), so that's where our side (and I mean our, I'm a member of the frigging Sierra Club) needs to make our points.
Are there nuts among the religious who think they can wreck the earth to hasten Jesus return? Sure. But mostly, the right is driven by the politics of greed, not the pre-tribulation eschatology.
