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, 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.
Ah yes, the country Scandinavia
And let’s not even get into the labelling of the UK and Ireland as one country… We still haven’t sorted out the mess from last time.
Helsinki is within the Scandinavia-zone on the map, and Helsinki is the capital of Finland.
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.
The Midwest should probably be Siberia. Like Siberia, we have two climates: too fucking cold and mosquito
