STREISAND DECLARES 'GLOBAL WARMING EMERGENCY'

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."

I'm sure she will do her part by not jetting around on her next tour.

There is undoubtedly a "Celebrity Whacko Emergency". I'm certain of that.

Streisand? Bah. I'm much more interested in Cher's take on the whole situation.

Barbara, have I told you lately how stupid you are?

You’re not just more stupid than all of drooling, dope smoking Hollywood. You are the living-dead end of stupid, the breath-taking, eye-popping, headline-screaming, glorious set-yourself-on-fire queen of stupid after which there is no more stupid. You’re more stupid than any teen-ager I know. You suck all the stupid out of Hell and compact it into a ridiculous little spitball of stupidity which you flick out into the world and it falls at your feet.

Actually, you provide the world with more entertaining stupidity in one laughable instant than Michael Moore in his entire stupid lifetime. You are the Big Mama and the Moby Dick of stupid, a colossus lumbering T-Rex of stupidity . . . .

Barbara, is this too subtle for you?

This ugly over the hill bitch seems not to mind she has several mansions and keeps all of them near freezing in the summer per reports I've seen. Hmmmm, wonder just how much energy she's consuming to do that, and wonder what all that does to the environment. Oh, yes, they only lecture us little guys. Get screwed Babs, you POS.

EU Environmentalism: A Reminder



As Rita is about to hit the US so quickly on the heels of Katrina, the extreme environmental loons will undoubtedly be back in force. Their mantra, of course, globalwarmingglobalwarming, theskyisfallingtheskyisfalling, thishasneverhappenedbeforethishasneverhappenedbefore. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam. Maybe they can work Halliburton in this time since Houston seems to be the destination.

Going back to 1851, what does the actual data from NOAA say:

The average number of all hurricanes per decade (in red) is 17.7

The average number of major hurricanes per decade (in red) is 6.0 Of course, 2001-2004 is not a complete decade. If you think the increase in the number and intensity of hurricanes is due to global warming, be glad I did not add trend lines. There are plenty of real environmental problems to consider, save the global warming hype. As an added bonus to this re-post: For three Mars summers in a row, deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near Mars' south pole have shrunk from the previous year's size, suggesting a climate change in progress. Hmmmm, climate change on Mars. Somehow I am sure that President Bush is responsible. May I suggest a "Kyoto and Beyond" in 2012 when the original Kyoto expires. As this is a re-post I am not sure it falls under the rubric of re-blogging.

Now how many evacuees from New Orleans has Babs taken in to live her estate? I'm sure it must be in the HUNDREDS! (Sarcasm)

You gotta love these morons - imagine a fiction guy helping us to distinguish betweeen fiction and reality...

From his speech:

The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda




This from the pulp "writer" who brought us

Congo
Jurassic park
Disclosure
and other banalities

Chrichton appears to have mindmelded into his own fantasies.

Thank goodness the "experts" are finally weighing in on this issue. I feel MUCH better now.

Amazingly, all the REAL experts I've seen on T.V. have said it has NOTHING to do with global warming.

I'm happy to see that so many Hollyweirdo's are also experts in so many other fields, like Travolta, he's an expert on depression. Wow, they don't need those stinkin acting careers, they are born geniuses!

ROTFL!

Did she tell Henny Penny that the sky is falling?

She ran off to tell the "King" Bubba after saying this I suppose.

In this case however, he is making a very good point. The point is that wacko environmentalism as espoused by the likes of Babs is not grounded in good science.

Did Crichton kill your dog or something?

I think he happens to make a lot more sense than most of the entertainers who come down the pike with their proclamations. At least he has some academic background and some reasonable science on which he bases his ideas.

Your opinion of his writing is your business, but at least he's taking on the PC crazies in his own way.

It's getting fast and furious. For any interested in actual facts on hurricanes making landfall in the US starting in 1851 through 2004, by decade here's a great link.   NOAA

There's enough information there it slap the idiots upside the head with real facts.

You are both correct. His comments on the whole make eminent sense.

B.S. can prove Global warming, she's been having hot flashes for almost 20 years now.

The correct current term is "Global Climate Change". Then the dimbulbs can pontificate about whatever happens to be going on at any time.

Since it is impossible ever to expect Totally Steady Unchanging Global Climate, they can "Aha!" to their hearts' content about anything they choose.

Next: The new killer, Sunspots.

If she'd shut her fat mouth, it would be diminished considerably.
