Just another reminder that “celebrity” in no way implies intelligence or expertise. What’s her plan? cap volcanoes and eradicate part of the Sun? Because both of those have exponentially more impact on the Earth’s climate (along with a constantly moving axis).

Hey, Babs, can you spare a room or three for a family of four?

In Dallas, Texas:

"The overall levee system begins along the Elm Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River continuing through downtown Dallas. This system is referred to as the Dallas Floodway."

"In the Dallas Floodway, twenty-three miles of levees average a height of between 29' to 32'.

"The East and West Levee Systems were originally completed in 1932 and upgraded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s​​."

”…to slow climate change…”

Interesting…almost as if she’s admitting that “climate change” is a natural process that cannot be stopped….

The Big Thompson flood of 1976 happened during THE COMING ICE AGE hoax. 144 dead.
Mingo Creek flood in 1976 Tulsa also during the Ice Age hoax. This one nailed us.
I remember a Tulsa flood way back in 1957.

Robert Heinlein:

“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he opens his mouth.”

“In 1815 the Los Angeles River floods washed away the original Pueblo de Los Angeles. In 1825 a flood caused swamps to be formed between the Pueblo location and the ocean causing the River to flow southerly into its current location. In 1861 another flood caused the San Fernando Valley to flood, washing away riverbanks and water distribution systems. The three Rivers mostly flowed as underground streams with shallow surface streams in the dry season and tremendous flood flows during very wet seasons. By 1904 pumping wells depleted local aquifers at a time when California was the leading agricultural state. William Mulholland, superintendent of the Los Angeles Water company, proposed that Los Angeles area needed other water sources to support its growing agricultural industry and population.

“The 1914 flood caused $10 million in damages throughout the developing basin and brought a public outcry for action to address the recurrent flooding problems. The following year, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District was formed. Early flood control efforts included some channelization and the need for reservoirs. Taxpayers approved bond issues in 1917 and 1924 to build the initial major dams. However, taxpayers were not willing to provide enough funds for substantial infrastructure downstream of the dams. After two more destructive floods in the 1930s, Federal assistance was requested and the Army Corps of Engineers took a lead role in channelizing the River. Channelization began in 1938, and by 1960, the project was completed to form a fifty-one mile engineered waterway.”

Yep, no one ever died in a flash flood before the invention of the internal combustion engine. The left’s powers of delusion are amazing.

Climate change will happen to Streisand eventually. Her new nicknames should be “Babbles”

If this were mere delusion, surely there would be some basis in fact. But assigning this level of cause and effect, has to originate in an alternate universe, not subject to the physics and logic of the one we inhabit.

It all comes back to labeling carbon dioxide as the one cause agent from which all other weather woes are formed. Carbon dioxide simply cannot perform all the duties assigned to it by the “truly green” environmentalists.

These celebrities need to be brought to heel, to quote HRC, and STHU.

Years ago, didn’t dis Babs bish have her PR person release something on how we all need to stop using clothes dryers and hang our clothes out to dry? And, when asked if that was what Babs did, didn’t her PR person responded something akin to ‘of course not’?

Just like Sheryl Crow telling everyone they need to use ONE square of toilet paper if they do #1. Meanwhile, DIS bish probably has her wipers using cashmere shawls on her dainty privileged bottom.

Was it “climate change” that caused the Yangtze to flood in 1931 and kill 15,000 Chinese in a single night?
