Crowd gets raucous at Oberstar-Cravaack debate | Duluth News Tribune | Duluth, Minnesota

On cap-and-trade legislation aimed at reducing carbon emissions, which Oberstar voted for before the bill failed to advance, Cravaack said the nation can’t afford higher energy costs. He claimed increased costs for electricity from the carbon-cutting effort could kill Minnesota’s taconite industry.

Oberstar countered that taconite and steel industries are afforded a credit in the version of legislation he voted for, saying the nation needed to make some progress in stemming carbon emissions widely blamed for spurring global climate change.

“It’s changing our way of life. We have to deal with this issue’’ of climate change, Oberstar said to boos and cat calls from Cravaack supporters. Oberstar said the claims carbon cutting legislation will put “our industry of work is fundamentally wrong."

When the heckling on climate change grew louder, Oberstar accused the Cravaack supporters of being in the “flat earth society.’’ When he tried to rattle off statistics on warming trends, he was shouted down again with calls of “liar."
