Despite statements to the contrary from the director of the National Hurricane Center, Barbra Streisand is declaring a "global warming emergency."

"We are in a global warming emergency state and these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," the singer, actress and liberal activist told Diane Sawyer of ABC News.

Oh wow!!!

What's left to say. I must admit to having been a skeptic about global warming, and the causes of it (If any).

I mean, I read the scientific papers, listened to learned professors, discussed it with meteorologists, and was never convinced that humans had changed the temperatures on Earth.

That is 'til now.

But BARBRA STREISAND said it! And I can't argue with BARBRA STREISAND - CAN I!!!??? So, I have seen the light. If BARBRA STREISAND said it, it must be true!! In fact, as soon as I read that BARBRA STREISAND declared it to be a fact, I dashed to turn the thermostat lower, because I would swear the room was getting warmer already!

Therefore, I'm throwing in the towel (and I noticed it was a HOT towel at that!) BARBRA STREISAND HAS SPOKEN.

The only globe that has warmed is her head. And the temperature change has fried her brain.

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 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 Cat 5 hurricane -- named "Dog" -- packing 185 mph churned-away in the Atlantic.

When she was 9, a Cat 5 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 didn't believe it until now, but if Babs says global warming is a problem then it must be so.

Why is it just because people have money they think they know everything? She is an over payed entertainer and like most of them , who spout off their mouthes about stuff they haven't a clue about. I would say "shut up and sing", but she can't do that either.

You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a f---ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything away. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup."

yeah global warming is real... remember over all the (supposed) millions of years all the ice ages that came and went... those were the result of all those SUV driving dinosaurs, and chimps, and whales..... 30 years ago all the "scientists" freaked over "global cooling!!!"... now it's global warming... sounds like the same cycle as the hurricanes to me by the way... but now they try to incorporate global warming with our cold winters of late saying it's causing a new ice age, without pausing to think.. hmmmm, if we've had ice ages before... what caused them? idiots.

I wonder how many joules of energy it takes to run Babs home, vehicles for her and her entourage, lighting for her shows and various other celebrity events she attends?

Why was Diane Sawyer asking Barbra Steisand about ANYTHING?

I mean who cares what Barbra Streisand thinks (if at all) about anything?

MIDI - PEOPLE

People...you pajama people
Are the scariest people in the world

At keyboards...online at your keyboards
On the leftists you keep an eye
I think that I could cry
I don't like all you right wing people

People...you bad pajama people
Are the scariest people in the world

And my spelling...you always check my spelling
You people never retreat...although I am the elite
You will not kiss my feet
That's why I hate you pajama people
Bad pajama people
You're the scariest people in the world

People...you pajama people
Are the scariest people in the world

On my site...message boards on my site
You asked why I'm still in SAG
Called me a worn out hag
I hate all you pajama people

People...you bad pajama people
Are the scariest people in the world

Bush is winning...why does he keep on winning
I scream until I turn red
He makes me wish I were dead
Perhaps I'll drive with Ted
Because of all you pajama people
Bad pajama people
You're the scariest people in the world
(You pajama people)
