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...
If she's so worried about Global Warming, shouldn't she lead the way and give up her huge mansion on the coast that is eating electricity at an phenomenal rate? Last I heard, it's only her and hubbie James Brolin living there.
Why is it these loons expect us to give up what little we have while they savor their wealth?
Talented as she is, she can take her new CD and put it where it fits best. I will never pay another dime to these idiots.
Awwww STFU Bab's......washed up celebrty posers pandering to political folly for fame lost long ago .
Just go away.....yer done, no one cares Barbara....
Well that settles it Barbara Streisand is the problem.
For the good of mankind Streisand.... please take action, I hear starvation is euphoric.
My oh my. This has got to be the only statement BS ever made that is 100% correct. Her little brain is just brimming with "overheard" erroneous information.
HA HA HA HA HA! Yeah, like she's going to give up her multimillion dollar mansion, SUV's, hot water....Stick it Babs
Suffering from delusions of grandeur are we, Babs?
Isn't that amazing? And did this witch even gradute high school?
All that hot wind created everytime she flaps her gums.
The old broad must be having hot flashes.
Good GOD, man! We can't have a !!GLOBAL WARMING EMERGRNCY!! without the Drudge siren!
I reunion of "nuts" and "no nuts".
"Guess Barb does not know that the sun causes global warming."
I guess we need to shoot some ice rockets into the sun.
Yes, we are all amazed Professor Streisand.
