News Advisory:
Few issues generate more debate or emotion from activists than global warming. This Earth Day, the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) will host a Capitol Hill briefing to examine whether fear of human-induced climate change is based on sound science and what impact proposed solutions will have on the climate and the economy. The briefing, which will be held at 10 a.m. in SD-406 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building, will discuss:
-- Whether the science behind global warming fears is sound or shaky;
-- How the issue has been distorted by some scientists, politicians and the media;
-- What impact the Kyoto Protocol or McCain-Lieberman proposal would have on the climate and the economy; and
-- What steps states are taking to combat climate change, and at what cost.
