#1 Darn, from the headline I thought Babs WAS the global warming emergency!

It's hilarious reading the European "progress" on Kyoto. No one is meeting the goals and they're agreed not to try a new plan when Kyoto runs out.

#2 Perhaps she will move the New Zealand, the only nation that takes Kyoto seriously.

#3 Dr. Solanki better watch his back. There's a good chance some Green nutjob will decide he's too dangerous to live.

#4 Does anyone other than the cross dressing community take her seriously?

#5 If she wants to contribute to the halting of Global Warming she should quit spewwing hot air.

#6 Nah, Cheddar, just ask her how her last album did. You'll feel the chill clear across the country.

#7 Brutal Steve, absolutely brutal. But then the truth hurts.

#8 Since the Kyoto Accord taxes Carbon Dioxide Emissions, and since as you exhale you ARE a "Carbon Dioxide Emitter" impose a tax on Streisand's exhalations.

In other words, charge her with violating the Kyoto Accords every time she opens her mouth and exhales. A penny a breath should be fair.
(No charge for inhaling, just don't breathe out)

#9 Redneck Jim---That was the key to ending pollution with the Nonbreather Campaign in Pogo comic strip in the sixties, heh.

#10 "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.

What ABC left out: "AWK!!! Babsy wants a cracker! AWK!!"

Good thing Babble - err- Babs is still around, because she's able to make the rest of the general population appear so much smarter.

#12 I for one am really tired of having Babs inflicted upon me with her drama queen sense of self-importance. On this issue alone one could, I am quite sure, gently beat her about the skull with the fact that she alone consumes more than enough and is therefore a large part of the problem she bemoans. I would be lost on her I'm sure. All the same, there should be no free ride for celebrity activist ilk in the media. Even if the Q and A gutting was only an exercise the record needs to be made. MSM can't though since she is part of the family so to speak and certain forms of domestic warfare are not publically aired by the MSM.

#13 Years ago, a neighbor boy who was retarded, perhaps six years old but still in diapers, would occasionally hop down the sidewalk, with one thumb in mouth and the other hand down his diapers, clutching himself, while shouting "Emergency! Emergency!" over and over again.

Why Barbara Streisand reminds me of him, I have no idea.

#14 she reminds me of Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd.
