You don’t have to believe in global warming to realize that today’s waste will be tomorrow’s want. You do need the desire to conserve what you’ve been blessed with so that you may pass it on to your descendants. (Call it generating long-term wealth if you like.) It’s about our values. And frankly, if our values put politics and accumulating material wealth above the health and well being of our children then we really don’t deserve what we have, but we do deserve what we’ll get.

This is a slightly different take on the issue, and clearly written as an attempt to draw "moderates" and conservatives to thinking about environmentalism on their own terms.
If Gore's idea of a social tipping point in the near future is going to come to pass, the issue will have to cross the political divide.
I don't know if the tactic will work, but it's an interesting idea.
