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.
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
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.
