  1. Phoenix is basically like what if there’s a city the size of Sydney or Melbourne in the middle of the Outback in the Australian context
    1
  2. Well it's because most jobs are in Auckland

  3. During the southern summer, generally the 15 hottest places in the world are all located in the Australian Outback

  4.  @mcfcfan5  Well it’s winter in Southern Hemisphere now

  5. It’s a paradox that people in rich countries don’t have kids and complain about kids being expensive while people in poor countries with far less money have tons of them

  6. Other cities have much higher humidity than Phoenix though which makes 85 degrees there feel much hotter than 85 in Phoenix

  7. South Island is much colder than north. Like unlike north, it frequently gets below freezing and it snows during winter

  8. USA also took in tons of immigrants from countries like Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia and Scandinavian countries. They also brought in tons of slaves from Africa, and then after that huge influx of immigrants from Latin America. Also it’s older than Australia so much more time for their to be sustained period of high birth rates leading to lots of natural growth

  9.  @hakunamatata3935  And without volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis
    1
  10. South America has Andes to trap the rain
    1
  11.  @robert3987  Only winters though. Summers are similar and London has hotter summers than most of NZ actually if you look at temperature stats

  12. Yeah, city limits are arbitrary

  13. I think he did another video on plan to irrigate entire eastern half of Australia, piping water from the tropical rainforests of northern Queensland to interior regions of QLD, NSW and Victoria

  14. Phoenix heat is dry, so not sweaty. Sweat capital probably Houston, New Orleans or Miami
    1
  15. Suburban sprawl vs dense city which results in more water use. Also plants in Phoenix have to be artificially watered due to lack of rain unlike in NYC
    1
  16. That said, NZ has no unihabitable desert or polar lands like Australia and Canada respectively
    1
  17. And it’s climate means lack of water. Also examples, Sahara desert is very empty, and the desert parts of countries like US and China are very empty compared to rest of country
    1
  18. All time high in Phoenix is 122F
    1
  19.  @mylesiswhite4122  It’s a good thing that none of the major parties support illegal immigration
    1
  20. He also goes over why the tropical, non-desert part of Australia is also sparsely populated
    1
  21. And I’ve heard some take regular plane commutes from Perth
    1
  22. What about the Taliban Empire
    1
  23. It won’t. You can’t engineer the climate really
    1
  24.  @MatthewBaka  Basically Australia only had staple crops like wheat and domestic animals after Europeans brought them over
    1
  25. Considering the US territory was colonized by 3 countries(UK, France and Spain), it very possibly could’ve ended up as at least 3 countries
    1
  26. That said, new world countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Argentina or even the USA are underpopulated compared to what their land could support even by taking fertility of land into consideration
    1
  27. Well it's very small in size compared to Australia, the country NZ is compared to
    1
  28. TheBraveGallade don’t forget the South Korean corporations called chaebols. Even if North Korea started trading and diplomatic relations with the south. I bet they’ll move their factories into North Korea for cheap labor
    1
  29. However the problem is the birth rate in Australia has already dropped below replacement levels despite the population being small and it being a young country so it’s growth potential is a lot lower compared to other countries in similar timeframe of settlement and founding as compared to other countries which had hundreds of years of high birth rate driven growth which led to high population

  30. Some say NZ is the southern hemisphere version of Wales cause sheep and rugby
    1
  31. No typhoons because it’s in the equatorial region. Though typhoons form in tropics, it doesn’t form in equatorial region. No heatwaves because it’s an archipelago and heatwaves form over large continental land masses and the fact that it’s wet year round
    1
  32.  @danielthunder9876  Well most Australian immigrants come from Asia so Asian cuisine is a big thing
    1
  33. Also many parts of Africa
    1
  34.  @greatcanadianmoose3965  I'm talking about other places outside of France where they speak French
    1
  35. Not actually. South Island is very cold and gets a lot of snow
    1
  36. It’s cheap because local incomes are very low
