Streisand on global warming


Using fear instead of reason
According to the Drudge Report, Barbara Streisand blames "global warming" for the recent hurricanes. Apparently it is "proof positive" that there is an emergency, but she overlooks what has happened in her lifetime.

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.

Fear mongering is inexcusable and does NOTHING to give any credibility to the claims of global warming. Intentional or not, it comes off as another Hollywood liberal telling people how stupid they are. Celebrity isn't any reason to take anyone seriously, especially when they resort to these tactics.

Before I accept the global warming theories, I have four questions that I would like answered. After that (and without the scare tactics), I'd be willing to talk about what needs to be done.
