Environmentalists Feeding Frenzy Begins (Just Forget All that "History" Stuff)
(Drudge) STREISAND DECLARES 'GLOBAL WARMING EMERGENCY'
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.
-Category 5 hurricane struck the Bahamas with 160 mph winds in 1947!
-1950 a Cat 5 hurricane -- named "Dog" -- packing 185 mph churned-away in the Atlantic.
-1951 a Cat 5 storm named "Easy" ripped the seas with 160 mph sustained winds.
-1955 "Janet" hit Mexico with 150 mph winds.
-1958 "Cleo" formed with 140 mph.
-1960 "Donna" AND "Ethel" -- both storms carried 140 mph winds and formed 9 days apart !
-1961, it happened again: Two Category 5 storms scared the world: "Carla" and "Hattie!" "Carla" maxed out at 175 mph winds.
-And who could forget Hurricane "Camille" -- which smashed into the United States with 190 mph?
P.S. I paraphrased the dates. Drudge substituted years with how old Streisand was at the time.
