Nice map! I have a somewhat faded poster of Buckminster Fuller's stunning Dymaxion Airocean World on my office wall. I've seen maps that show the arctic ice cap, but this one doesn't. (I had a geographer come into my office one time who explained that some of his students got confused when they found out you could send submarines under it.) And, yes, this is the same Buckminster Fuller of Buckminsterfullerene fame

If that is accurate it really shows what effect the jet-stream has on the UK, were on a parallel with Newfoundland and Quebec and they certainly don't get the same weather as they do.

 

Also New York State should be a lot warmer too if its on a line with Spain.

Yeah, you can see the effect of the Gulf Stream on the Dymaxion map (because it displays mean low annual temperature using colour gradients). Unfortunately it's not obvious from the image in the link I posted that there's a distinct temperature range for north-western Europe.
