    Ah yes China or Russia, countries famously small enough to have a single simple climate.

      The map shows Russia as having climates similar to Nebraska as well as Greenland. I don’t think that’s really a single simple climate.

        Yeah, I think the concept might be mapping them so there’s some kind of scale proportion between the countries their NA equivalent, as well as a climate one. There’s still some misses, though. I’m not sure how “Eastern Europe” compares to the continental divide, and Ukraine has got to be larger than Japan.

      To be fair, those areas of North America don’t have a single simple climate either. It is pretty unhelpful though, I’ll grant you that.

        To be fair, there aren’t a lot of areas around that size in the world with deserts, jungles, and monsoons. It’s a pretty good comparison, as much as it’s possible for there even to be one between regions that large.

      Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee don’t really have the same climate as the sun belt states either so I was taking it as the climate in northern china vs SE china

    Ah yes, the famously wintery coasts of France and Spain.

    It’s a cool idea, but putting aside the silliness of putting the whole of China in one region only of the US, they very clearly looked at pure latitude without taking into account the effects of the AMOC keeping the whole western coast of Europe about 10-15℃ warmer than it has any right to be given its position on the globe.

        It’s pretty well feckin jinxed at this point, it doesn’t need my help

        I like how it’s confirmed gonna collapse within from 1 to 100 years, and everyone’s response is just to wait to see while arguing about when it’s going to happen exactly

    The Midwest should probably be Siberia. Like Siberia, we have two climates: too fucking cold and mosquito

    What exactly is the climate of huge spanning areas like Russia, India, China, Scandinavia etc.? This map doesn’t make any sense at all.
