STREISAND DECLARES 'GLOBAL WARMING EMERGENCY'
THE SUPERSTAR SONGSTRESS SERENADED SAWYER WITH STORM SEASON ASSERTIONS. BUT TO SOME SHE'LL SOUND MORE LIKE A WINDSOCK SINGING LIBERALISM'S GOLDEN OLDIES!
NEW YORK -- This summer's back to back superstorms are proof positive we have entered a new period of "global warming emergency," artist/citizen Barbra Streisand warns.
Streisand is back on the scene to promote her reunion disc with Barry Gibb.
As hellstorm "Rita" churned in the Gulf, Streisand sat down for a promotional interview with ABCNEWS's Diane Sawyer.
"We are in a global warming emergency state, and these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," Streisand urgently declares.
But Sawyer did not remind Streisand that a Category 5 hurricane struck the Bahamas with 160 mph winds -- when the singer was five years old, in 1947!
And when Streisand was 8 years old, a Cat 5 hurricane -- named "Dog" -- packing 185 mph churned-away in the Atlantic.
When she was 9, a Cat 5 storm named "Easy" ripped the seas with 160 mph sustained winds.
Streisand was 13 years old when "Janet" hit Mexico with 150 mph winds.
Streisand was celebrating her sweet sixteen as "Cleo" formed with 140 mph.
At 18, Streisand read news about "Donna" AND "Ethel" -- both storms carried 140 mph winds and formed 9 days apart in 1960!
One year later, when Streisand was 19, it happened again: Two Category 5 storms scared the world: "Carla" and "Hattie!"
"Carla" maxed out at 175 mph winds the year Streisand made her television debut on "The Jack Paar Show."
And who could forget Hurricane "Camille" -- which smashed into the United States with 190 mph, just as "Funny Girl" garners eight Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture and one for Barbra as Best Actress.
Up next on the weather warning watch, Streisand says to ABC: "There could be more droughts, dust bowls. You know, it's amazing to hear these facts."

Somebody tell Babs that Germany is more than 85% behind in it's Kyoto protocols. Maybe then she'll go over there.

Well, I'm glad Ms. Streisand got that all sorted out for us.

Seriously, though, the issue of global warming is not in question. The issue is wheter it's naturally cyclical (like El Nińo and La Nińa) , or artifically induced. The likelihood of it being a natural cycle is great. That doesn't mean we should not be envirnmentally responsible, but it does mean we should refrain from chicken-little syndrome which seems to be all the rage these days. -

I'm still ticked off she broke her promise to leave the United States if Bush was elected!

Does anyone besides the left wing lunatics really listen to Babs?

Someone on another website posted this pithy remark about the green emergency:
"Well Lets not forget that Babs was Campaigning for Bill Clinton’s re-election when 739 people died in The 1995 Chicago Heat Wave with zero FEMA response I might add. Where were the tree hugging global warmists then?"

Where were the people yelling for FEMA now? Oh, that was a Chicago problem.
