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."

Barbera Streisand is so full of hot air that she could contribute to global warming.

This from a woman who does not produce anything necessary in life. She is an entertainer. She produces recordings and films which consume considerable quantities of energy,

You have hit the nail on the head.

Where do these Hollywood morons thing we are going to cut energy usage.

If we truly were in a crisis, the first place we cut is the entertainment industry.

An industry that produces no food, no shelter, no redeeming value to the long term existence of mankind.

Go ahead President Bush. Sign Kyoto and then shut down Hollywood, the music industry, all fiction book and magazine printing. To produce these things wastes energy and resources and pollutes the environment with no improvement to society.

Stupid is.. stupid does.. stupid shut up.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, that means the debate is over. Barbra has spoken.

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?

A perfect reply.

The reason being that (In Her Opinion) "we" are the subjects that should sacrifice so the American royalty (such as herself, or any of the other "elite") can lead us all into some sort of Orwellian, 1984ish 'utopia'.

Streisand is pretty comfy these days, resting on her millions, jetting from home to home, marrying good-looking younger men, etc.

Her only "emergency" would be if she ran out of Kleenex for that enormous honker.
