The NCPA carries the following statement on its web site regarding global warming:
While the earth has warmed between 0.3 and 0.6 degrees Celsius and carbon dioxide (CO2), has increased more than 30 percent over the last 150 years, scientists still debate the extent to which human activity is the cause of global warming. NCPA scholars believe that while the causes and consequences of the earth’s current warming trend is still unknown, the cost of actions to substantially reduce CO2 emissions would be quite high and result in economic decline, accelerated environmental destruction, and do little or nothing to prevent global warming regardless of its cause.
In a 2010 pamphlet entitled "What does Health Reform Mean for You?", the NCPA asserted without referencing any sources that under the health care reform law: "Most employers will have to reduce what they pay in wages and other benefits in order to afford the required coverage" and that "The extra burden on employers could cost as many as 700,000 jobs by 2019".

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“The absolute things, the last things, the overlapping things, are the truly philosophic concerns; all superior minds feel seriously about them, and the mind with the shortest views is simply the mind of the more shallow man.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry. The aspect of the country, indeed, is universally stern and savage, excepting the distant views of the forest from hills, and the lake prospects, which are mild and civilizing in a degree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Your views are now my own.”
—Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist.
