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 encourage anyone who thinks we're in some global warming induced hurricane armageddon to type National Hurricane Center into google and subsequently look at the data on hurricanes from the past 100+ years.

Did it say if those cost estimates are nominal or real values? I'm sure people will think they are getting costlier and deadlier, ignoring the fact the population has risen dramatically and more people live in dangerous (i.e under-sea-level/coastal) cities...

Whether it's caused by greenhouse gasses (which I think are at least partially to blame) or it's a natural cycle of our planet, global warming is a reality. Our oceans are heating up, polar ice caps are melting, record temperatures, the list goes on. One of the byproducts of warmer ocean temperatures is indeed a greater chance of hurricanes. So yes, I think global warming COULD have contributed to these storms, or at least augmented them.

Personally, I am worried about what the earth will look like in 50 years if this trend continues. Aren't you guys?

Heres another one. Make sure you read the title though it says its not adjusted for inflation.

Until someone can approximate accurately the sink affect for CO2 of the oceans and vegetation...

AND account for the volume of naturally produced "greenhouse gasses"....

Then how the heck can we know it's us????

What about all the methane trapped in sediment in the oceans???.. that also is affected by ocean levels and temps and is viewed I believe as a buffering agent...???

Agreed - I think there are interesting and valid points on both sides, and neither should be ignored as "liberal brainwashing." But my point is, whether we are doing it or Mother Nature is doing it, the earth IS getting warmer. And THAT is what has me concerned.

We've been in Global Warming for thousands of years. If we didn't have Global Warming the Polar Ice Caps would still be covering Canada and the upper United States!! :read:
