Slight correction:
North America should be more green in the Midwest and the Rocky Mountains should be a little dryer.

This video was waaaay to short because of how interesting it is and how different all of the climates will become.

I thought I was watching a video from a big channel until I saw it wasn't! Keep it up man :)

The man did an hour video in 4 minutes. I like it.

In this scenario, even the north atlantic drift ahould reverse direction causing greenland, Labrador peninsula, Altantic Canada to have climate similar to that of europe while hudson bay waters would be much warmer. Europe will become a huge nunavut

This is underrated, keep up the good work

This video's way too short to feed my nerd brain. Regardless, I love it.

Boy, I can't imagine a dry deserted Yunnan, Savannah of Philippines, and Sahara Rainforest. Do you think Indonesia will have a drier Sumatra and wetter Nusa Tenggara?

I've been wondering about this for decades, and there simply must be a computer simulation to illustrate this.

[crazydog]

There’s no telling just how different history would be. ESPECIALLY looking at Africa. A green Sahara has insane implications for humanity across the ages.

A group of people have decided to simulate a koppen climate map of a retrograde spinning earth if you're interested.

The typhoons would shift their way towards the west coast of south america, while the hurricanes would go for europe

[tauceti]

How would this affect hurricane formation and path??

[noodengrthree]

Superman caused this to happen to save Loius Lane back in the 70s. I don't remember these effects

I thought you had 800k views instead of 800 from the quality of this

[notakiwi]

i thought this was an alternate history video lol

[mrsheldon]

I saw this hypothetical scenario before, I can't believe how much "better" a retrograde Earth would be.

[picobyte]

The Netherlands would be a lot colder 🙃

[coryhafer]

Yeah, too short. You were hitting it dude. There is still more of the world to go over. Not to mention if you compare a flipped rotation today to a flipped rotation at other points in the past.

shouldn’t eastern Siberia have a much more humid climate due to winds blowing inland? Would be similar to today Europe
