Founded in 1983, NCPA acts as an organizer for other conservative groups as well as conducting its own free-market oriented public policy analysis on issues such as health care, social security, fiscal policy, and the environment.
NCPA has an "E-Team" that analyzes environmental policy. The global warming "experts" on the team are climate skeptics who opposed the Kyoto Protocol and continue to oppose any regulation of greenhouse gasses. Global warming "experts" include Marlo Lewis and Christopher Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Kenneth Green from the Fraser Institute, Thomas Gale Moore from the Hoover Institution, and S. Fred Singer of the Science and Environmental Policy Project.
NCPA also hosts a "golabal warming hotline" section on its website (http://www.ncpa.org/hotlines/global/gwhot.html). The page has links to articles and testimony skeptical of global warming.
NCPA is a member of the State Policy Network and the Cooler Heads Coalition (as of 4/04).
[edit] Key Quotes
[edit] April 2004
"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."

[edit] March 31st, 2004
"This is just one more misguided attempt to force energy rationing upon the U.S. economy...Kyoto will never see the light of day in the Senate, because there is zero real support for it. Other versions of this proposal have already failed in the Senate, so this nothing more than an attempt to keep the issue alive at a time when support for Kyoto is falling across the globe, including among nations that were its most ardent supporters."
"As time goes on it becomes more and more evident that restricting greenhouse gasses as called for by this legislation will do little if anything to prevent global warming...Even members of the European Union are beginning to realize that emission reductions as called for under Kyoto and this bill will harm the economy, cause job losses and limit consumer choices."
