As others have pointed out already Argentina is less hospitable than
Canada, but no, that wasn't what I was getting at.
The chart shows that give or take some variations due to political
borders, regional climates etc. the human population is pretty much
distributed like a bell curve as a function of latitude.
I.e. despite all our technology and adoption skills very few people
live in Northern Greenland or in the middle of the Sahara. Climate
change might change existing population centers more towards either of
those extremes with bad results.
- Turing_Machine 10y ago"As others have pointed out already Argentina is less hospitable than Canada" They have pointed out nothing of the sort. The base climate in almost all of Canada will kill an unprotected human within hours for a significant portion of the year. That is simply a fact, even if you cherry-pick "Canada" to mean Toronto (which has a climate moderated by Lake Ontario), as the other guy tried to do.
