I've definitely heard the Iran/Afghanistan comparison for the Colorado Rockies. I'd love to visit either and see how the ecosystems evolved differently.
Same same. I really want to visit the rainbow island of Hormuz myself
I've heard some parts of Iran, particularly the Alborz region having geographic similarities to Oregon and Washington.
It's more like microTibet
Arizona would be west-Afghanistan
Korengal Valley reminds me a lot of Northern Colorado, where it's still arid but you're starting to get more northern precipitation so things are green but there are cacti in the conifer forests:

The Himalayas are too vertical for us. We have a lot of Nepali/Tibetan/Indian immigrants from the Himalayas because it's the closest thing they can find to that, but Lhasa is at 3490m in elevation and that's the summits above our ski towns.

Yeah I meant relatively--Colorado is the highest expansive zone of the US. Technically you could argue New Mexico/Utah/Wyo as well, but Colorado is the source of the most important river in the US West, ergo it is the "Tibet" of the US
In absolute terms Colorado is 11,000ft mountains surrounded by a 5,000ft plain, which is mostly blonde but still somewhat green
Meanwhile Afghanistan (as a whole) ain't got no melanin in that soil. The Korangal valley does but I still think a better comparison for Colorado would be Qinghai or Gansu
also found a great photo from your link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunar_Province#/media/File:US_soldiers_with_cows_in_Kunar_Province_of_Afghanistan.jpg

I would really love to see chuds' reactions to the South being labeled "China".
I like how it's just "China" when the populated climate zones in China get colder than anything in Europe/US, let alone the US south
I'm just glad there isn't a state here that is the same as "Africa".
new climate zone added: mayo(3b)
THE MING SHALL RISE AGAIN or something like that
I’ve always, since learning the fact, told people that the average temp in the state I live in is 40f, for the whole year, which is 8 stupid degrees above freezing.. that’s about the same as the Siberian tundra.
But growing up I often heard “sure it’s cold but we could live in the Siberian tundra” and now I’m like ok..? And? We do basically?
This seems to be wildly inaccurate when checking e.g. mean temperature. Mean temperature in Germany is about 11°C (Berlin: 13°C). The region labeled Germany in this picture seems to be around 4°C. Are there sources to back this up?

Uzxbekistan as Wyoming paired with that happiness survey the showed uzbekistan as the most miserable country is
The other map had Toronto in the Baltics/Russia which I think is correct. This map has Japan where Toronto should be. Hmm. I trust the other one
Maybe the real lesson we should learn is that all three are similar to each other in climate and in political sus-ness
True. I remember reading somewhere that Toronto and Moscow are two of the few regions in the world that have such a wide temperature changes, that nornally go from like 35C to -35C every year
That sounds pretty close to Fairbanks, Alaska, actually.
Fucking awful eugh
Ah glorious Nippon, my home away from home.
I've always wanted to visit the fabled redwood rainforests of Spain.
I've always wanted to see a Californian siesta
Yes, China with its one climate. Same weather from the Gobi to Harbin to Sanya.
it's funny because europe actually does have basically the same climate everywhere compared to all the other subcontinents
The thing that fucks me up is that Europe is so far north. Like I'm enduring colder, snowier winters than England sees, but they get even darker in the winter. Those currents do a lot. But again, to reiterate, how the fuck does anyone survive not seeing the sun that much? It is no wonder that Europeans are grim.
I'm about as far north as Anchorage and the darkness is truly horrific for a few months. If you live in a city like me you are going to completely miss the sun many days. You'll still see the sky changing color and it will be light ourside, but the sun never rises very far above the horizon, so it is always blocked by buildings. For December and January I will not experience any direct sunlight if I'm working. I have to run to a hilltop on the weekends at noon to remind myself that the sun still exists.
Georgia? I believe you mean North Florida
um, I'm Chinese
Cool Map
This is kinda neat, even if my initial gut reaction was liberals cutting of sections of China...again.
Here's a more accurate/literal one but I got bored in the middle and stopped
Needs more China
The Cringe Zone
I don't think it's possible to have 1:1 lineup for provinces, no matter how they map onto the map.
There was an original that paired North American cities with their closest climatic equivalents worldwide.
They're also roughly the same locations relative to each other as their actual locations.
Yeah I believe in Taiwanese independence
Meanwhile Greenland is like "please leave me out of this."
