What the hell?

*Pets his Jameson bottle* do not listen to these fools my love.

Actually, Annoyed is a whiskey fan, but being an American, he probably means bourbon or some blended junk pretending to be a fine malt.

Like people that call Jack Daniels a whiskey? But I'm more of a rum guy myself.

Drinking rum before the sunset doesn't make you alcoholic, it makes you a pirate.

Actually partial to Makers Mark, but I settle for Jack Daniels if I'm not in the mood to drive into the traffic hellhole where the liquor store that handles Maker's is. Takes a good 20 minutes to get into that parking lot, park, buy it, and get out of the lot back into the street.

Absurd that storeowners actually think I'll put up with that much aggravation to go to their store.

Fact: If mankind is not the cause of this, and it is a natural process, nothing we can do is gonna stop it.

Simple game theory here. There are two basic possibilities.
A-Mankind plays a role in global warming
B-Mankind does not play a role in global warming.

The question is which course of action to take if we assume (against the vast majority of scientists and research and data and observations) that the truth is unknown. That leaves us with four scenarios:

1) If A is true and we do nothing to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels we face death and destruction, an undesirable result.
2) If A is false and we do nothing, nothing happens other than running out of fossil fuels which would be an eventuality we would be ill prepared to deal with and lead to political and economic instability worldwide. Another unfavorable result.
3) If B is true and we do nothing, nothing worse happens for any death and destruction would have happened anyway.
4) If B is false and we do nothing, death and destruction.

Doing nothing ends badly in all scenarios. The only one where not doing anything is even the least bit smart is scenario 3...but that's assuming we don't run out of resources before the climate feces hits the climate oscillator. So yeah, reducing fossil fuels is ultimately the best course of action regardless of whether or not global warming is impacted by human activity. Logic alone here dictates that we ought to do something.

Edit: Some clarifications and rewriting.

Both a bourbons, I rest my case.

you should ask your local to buy a case of MM. I am sure their distributor can get it, but most smaller stores won't keep stuff if there is no market for it. Make your mark.

You sir are a genius.

Shouldn't you be cleaning the cantina bar?
It's looking more dusty than normal.

[jelgate]

That is work for simple minded people which is why Annoyed does it

[Gatefan1976]

I restate, the bar is looking dustier than normal.

Then we need to chain him to the oven like a woman

A woman would be more effective.

You bet.

Please keep in mind the thread title Jel, I doubt Annoyed qualifies.
