The NCPA (National Center for Policy Analysis)

I am once again committing myself to investigative reporting. This time, we will be looking at the comments of Analyst H. Sterling Burnett, of the NCPA. He states that global warming is completely natural, but says that the rising CO2 levels are caused by a combination of human emissions and the cycle of ice ages. This summary is very similar to Gary Novak's view. However, the cycle of ice ages Burnett refers to is based on the fact that we endured a "Little Ice Age" last century. The rise in CO2 levels, as stated by Al Gore and Gary Novak, comes before the ice age, so we can write off the recent "little ice Age" to normal temperature fluctuation. Now you must think, we must be having natural temp. flutuation right now, but it can be and will be disproven... in my next post.

"The National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) is an American non-profit conservative think tank." -Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_for_Policy_Analysis#Characterization_by_others)

This quote basically shows that the NCPA is a privately funded organization, without representation from Liberals.
