Bootleggers and Baptists

Here is the link to Bruce Yandle's original Bootleggers and Baptists article. Here is an article where he applies his model to global warming arguments. BTW, my reading of the global warming literature leaves me agnostic about whether the warming we are seeing is human-caused and even whether it is a bad thing. But, the Kyoto Protocol appears to be a very bad deal as it is more symbolism than substance.
