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

MODERATORS
The Midwest should probably be Siberia. Like Siberia, we have two climates: too fucking cold and mosquito
Note: climate, not biome.
Ah yes, I N D I A
Ahæ yes, the country Scandinavia
Finland also isn't in Scandinavia.
I don't see that being claimed though?
Helsinki is within the Scandinavia-zone on the map, and Helsinki is the capital of Finland.
You got some perceptive eyes there, didn't even notice that they also placed cities on the map
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.
I think Ireland should join the United Kingdom and kick out England. Wales can stay if it behaves.
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.
Please, you're going to jinx it.
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
Source?
I'm not 100% sure, because it's been circulating as an image, but a quick google search leads me to a meteorologist named Dan Johnson who apparently posted this to facebook a few years ago.
Look it up?
Look up what?
You don't know what you're asking someone else to show you?
Yeah no shit, cause they're asking for a fuckin' source. What, Is bro supposed to google "source for goofy ass map that shows climate of north America in the context of other countries"?
Ah yes China or Russia, countries famously small enough to have a single simple climate.
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, India is Mexico
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.
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.
