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 that 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 hurricane -- named "Dog" -- packing 185 mph churned-away in the Atlantic.
When she was 9, a 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."
Developing...
Oh brother..now Barbra Streisand is a scientist? My liberal sister blames the hurricanes on global warming too. I pointed out the cyclical nature of strong hurricane seasons, starting with the 1900 hurricane that still holds the record for the most deaths (betwee 8,000 and 12,000), but being a liberal, statistics and facts were a waste of time and breath.
To the rest of the world the "global warming" myth is as real as UFO conspiracies and JFK assasination plots.
It is really an illness.
It is the same mentality that believed the USSR will eventually rule the world.
They will not hear about science, they will not argue evidence. It only matters that capitalism is EEEEEEVIL.
Perhaps Babes should give away 100% of all her money and work in a homeless shelter to put her money where her mouth is.
Give up the mansion and drive a bicycle babaes.
I'm glad to know that Babs is a fully qualified physical scientist with a thorough background in planetary physics, analytic and numerical modeling of hydrodynamic/thermodynamic open systems with fluid mixing at meridional shear boundaries on the surface of a spinning sphere, convective and radiative heat transfer, classical mechanics in a non-inertial reference frame, solar energy budget analysis, physical oceanography, meteorology, historical climatology, and geology. I can rest much easier now.
With that nose of hers she probably sucked a whole in the ozone layer.
With that voice of hers she probably disorientated some humpback whales causing them to beach themselves.
If Babs would shut her "hot-air" mouth, the earth would cool off!
and how did her last movie do?
BS from BS.
Rather than power or authority, I was wondering what knowledge she possesses to make that profound statement? Is she an educated meteorologist? Is she, in fact, trained in any of the sciences? If not, then I can only assume that she is another Chicken Little......
A little VODO, witchcraft, a few million dollars here we are!
bump for a good laugh later
There, I said it...no threat.
Now, if I could only I could sell a few records...then my opinion would really carry some weight.
Just read this, BS. We've been below average between 1960 and 2000.

Bump for a later reference.
Then you need to stop chewing on Bab's tinfoil hat :)
JIMFREE DECLARES 'GLOBAL BARBRA STREISAND EMERGENCY!'
Stop polluting the planet with your hot air!
LOL! Excellent...
