Koppen breakdown for Canada:
-Wow, I didn't expect a whole 1. 1mil to live in the Dfc zone. Does that also include Thunder Bay and areas just outside Edmonton or Calgary? when I calculated it I only got 500k.
-4 million live in the Dfa zone, 3mil of that is the Toronto city area. Will grow a lot soon with Montreal becoming Dfa in the coming years.
3. 5 million Canadians live in the temperate zones. The number of Cfb vs Csb varies heavily since Vancouver, where most of this population is, is also borderlining those two.
-I calculated about 500k Canadians in the BSk zone but that's probably closer to 1mil for a similar reason to Dfc numbers being higher than I calculated.
-Trace populations of ET and some others like Dsb
-And with no surprise Dfb is pretty much all the rest

I-ve always wondered why the us has such a weird climate
I-ve been in Maine for about 3 years, during winter it gets so cold you just wish you were on fire then in the summer it-s so hot you-re in a constant fever dream it-s really weird also the general super cold region of the us has been heating up rapidly and this year it-s actually been super mild for the most part though apparently we-re about to get a really strong cold wave
Also this deserves more views good video

Wow! I'm not gonna lie I'm surprised about a couple of those. This was incredibly interesting - must have been a lot of work gathering all that data and processing it. Yet again, hitting it out of the park with the video quality.
It's interesting to think that if there was more Oceanic climate or mediterranean climate, we could see them takin the crown in this list, however that large asian humid subtropical population would probably be hard to beat.

The oceanic and subtropical highland climates would seem to have similar climates except on the distribution of rainfall. Cwb suggests a summer monsoon (Mexico City, while Cfb suggests nearly-even rainfall (London. The biggest difference that I would imagine is that one would need much sunscreen in a subtropical highland zone (Quito, Ecuador is probably the worst place in the world for getting a sunburn due to the high altitude and moderate temperatures.

I'm from Buenos Aires, so I'm particularly boring here. I do dislike the summers here, too hot and clammy, whereas the rest of the years is much nicer, with the winters getting cold, but never too much, and offer some nice variety. I sometimes wish we could slide Buenos Aires a few kilometers south into the belly of the Buenos Aires province, where we'd have what to my personal tastes would be a much nicer oceanic climate. But alas, it's not to be.

I am really surprised, that the oceanic climate is only on number 8. I am from western germany and I was sure that this climate is on a higher place because we have here a really high population density. But on the other side, it makes sense because the biggest regions with this climate is in western europe while the most other regions with this climate are not that big. Anyway, really interesting video like all your videos. Thanks for this.

awesome video! One suggestion is to add another pie chart at the end which takes into account land size too. Perhaps, the chart could be based on average population density instead (making the assumption that they the population is spread uniformly across the whole land mass?
As you pointed out, I am curious to see if the world had more oceanic or mediterranean climates, if those would be more popular to live in.

For me the 14: 20 graphic shows the margin of tolerance various ecosystems have to sustain exploitation. If you notice, the more less people staying in a clmate zone, the more pristine it is and the more there is reaction to foreign stimuli. All the sub arctic zones, the tropical rainforest zones and oceanic climate zones are the most vuonerable to climate changes. Just an observation.

There are small areas of As climate in which a seasonal rain shadow or wind pattern keeps precipitation low during the winter. These would probably be very similar to Aw near the equator (Mombasa, Recife. Honolulu might be on the dry side, but it is not quite equatorial. Tropical trade winds give Honolulu. the rare example of a tropical variant of a Mediterranean climate?

Humid subtropical is good for producing food, but horrible for human life quality. The world would be better if we could automate food production in the tropics/subtropics but have everyone live in a more reasonable temperature range. Floating cities in the northern and southern oceans, to extend the room we have in the oceanic climate zones.

If climate zones were super-nations:
Oceanic - richest
Humid Subtropical - most powerful, economically, militarily and industrially
Continental - 2nd most powerful
Mediterranean - most innovative, thanks to California and Israel and second richest.
Hot Desert - Oil and gas superpower
Tropical - poorest, top agriculture producer

I'd be very interested to know about the population _density_ not total population per given climate region. So how many people live on average per square kilometer in Oceanic, Humid Subtropical, Continental, Cool Desert, Hot Desert climate etcetera. You do sometimes reference to this in this video but no numbers.

Amazing video, still find it strange they call north east US or much of China subtropical. We need -temperate- to be a thing again for these areas. Sure a mild winter and Philly might feel like Atlanta, and sure a cold winter and Atlanta might feel like Philly, but no they should be different zones.

Considering over 3/4 of the planet lives in 4 zones, it explains how climates in pop culture are portrayed. The setting is almost always either places with very distinct 4 seasons (continental, places that are deserts, places that are tropical, or places that are temperate (humid subtropical)

Very interesting. Didn't expect humid subtropical would be #1 I thought maybe top 3 or 4 but that was because I forgot that most of China is also this same type. Very cool funfact to know I live in the most populous climate region in the world (along with over 1/4th the human population)

Informative video. It would be interesting to see a second chart at the end showing the population density in each zone. That would show the carrying capacity of each climate type and help tease apart the effect of carrying capacity and land area in each zone.

#3 is really surprising, I've always wondered where those folks in the hot desert get their water!
Also, it would be interesting to see this vid but with estimated population in the year 2100. I think #2 would overtake #1 by a quite a large margin.

I'm surprised about Indian's Hot Desert (BWh) population, and the size of that climate's population in general. I can understand why Egypt, Iraq, and Pakistan's are so high (large rivers, but where do the India desert dwellers get their water from?

New food growing methods such as precision fermentation and vertical farming will change this dynamic. They Need far less land and water because of controlled environments in greenhouses and warehouses.

Indeed population density by climate would also be very interesting to check. -
The biome is also a very interesting subject, the demographic contrast in Egypt for the same climate is striking!

Interesting to note that some of the most calorie-rich crops can only be grown in the top two climate types, and these crops are also able to be double-cropped in these two as well.

Taiwan has both humid subtropical and tropical wet dry. Most people are in the subtropical part. Population is over 20 million. The scene of Asians on motorcycles looks like Taiwan.

I think humid subtropical has a lot of people cause all the land in that climate is flat and fertile for human agriculture and plus there's lots of rivers in those climate zones

My top climates
1. Humid Continental
2. Oceanic (At least the ones that experience more temperature range, especially in winter)
3. Northern Subtropical (Like New York)
