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:
“Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely that which all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“The universe is wider than our views of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
