The El Nino doesn't reach into your area. 
Bullsh*t! It does! Right now the Pacific Northwest, which includes the southwestern part of British Columbia is under a heat dome. Our temperature yesterday at 3:00PM was 91 degrees F. The temperature today is forecast to be equal to or higher than yesterday and we are forecast to have similar temperatures for the rest of this week. Typical daytime temperatures for this area at this time of year are 15-20 degrees F lower than what we have been and expect to experience for the next 7-10 days.

I was about to agree with your argument (first paragraph) until I read your second paragraph. They didn't miss or ignore the Midwest and upper Midwest ths April, because the article is talking about GLOBAL average temperatures! So what temperatures were experienced in April in the Midwest because of the relative size of the Midwest compared to the rest of the Global area is inconsequential to what was experienced in the Global area, which means the rest of the world, and the rest of the world is so much more than just the USA!

Agreed. Some blanket statements have more holes than blanket.

Yes. Because royalty is suppressive, and LBGT is expressive.
Which royalty are you referring, British Royalty? If so, how so? Or, are you saying ALL royalty is suppressive? Are you referring to royalty of past centuries or royalty of the 21st century?

Agreed, too bad that is not the reality in most countries, including but not limited to the USA.

You are entitled to your opinion and I honour your right to your own opinion. However, the British Monarchy does not require your approval, nor does it seek your approval. The Brits to do not approve of your form of government as their form of government has been tested for at least 1000 years. When the American Republican form of government has been tested for 1000 years, then you can trot out your approval rating.

Exactly! None of anybody's business but the Brits and to a lesser extent the business of the remaining Commonwealth Nations!

You say you would be interested in other's opinions about it, okay here is my opinion. I find your tradition of gaudy political campaigns outrages with the money spent to hoodwink the common v**er into believing one person (the President) has the power to make a country great again! But I will give you one greatness of America: over 200 mass shootings in less than 128 days. That is a record to be proud of! Just my opinion of course.

From what I understand about them, they are very effective.
Correct. The AK47 was the weapon of choice of the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War and we all know how that war turned out.

I was wondering how and where they get automatic weapons like those. And is there a reason so many people carry guns with them everywhere do they feel threatened?

Bruce.
Ethiopia has been fighting a civil war for over two years! Tens of thousands killed and millions displaced from their homes, now living in refugee camps. The country is a political mess, like several other countries I could list.

They look like automatic weapons to me. Were they in a conflict of some sort at the time you were there?
They are, specifically the Russian designed AK 47, or anyone of its many derivatives. Possibly the most widely used shoulder weapon in the world.

Totally agree with you. Would like to visit Sicily again, but most if not all of our travels since 2014 have been focused on East African countries and South Africa in particular where we support the African Elephant Research Unit.

Hope the egg on your tie did not ruin the tie! Have you been to Sicily? Terrific food! People are very stoic, remind me of the Scots.

The OP stated "Mt. Edna from A far Sicily Italy". So I don't know what you were querying - unless, e.g., you think there are more than one Mt Everests in the Himalayas - or more than one Mt St Helens? With or without it's top?

Ok, I’ll spell it out for you. There is no Mount “EDNA” in Sicily! There Is a Mount ETNA in Sicily! It would seem the OP either cannot spell or does not know the correct spelling of the mountain’s name!

Is there another one? I PREsume there isn't! 
(The OP did state Sicily in Italy).
(The OP did state Sicily in Italy).The OP stated “Mount Edna” in both his title and description, so as I am not an expert on mountains in Sicily, I queried the posting.
