On peut mettre les principales conclusions de l'étude :

The main findings concerning Middle Earth are that:
– The climate of Middle Earth has a similar distribution to that of Western Europe and North Africa.
– Mordor had an inhospitable climate, even ignoring the effects of Sauron - hot and dry with little vegetation.
– Ships sailing for the Undying Lands in the West set off from the Grey Havens due to the prevailing winds in that region.
– Much of Middle Earth would have been covered in dense forest if the landscape had not been altered by dragons, orcs, wizards etc.
– Lincolnshire or Leicestershire in the UK, or near Dunedin in the South Island of New Zealand, have an annual-average climate very similar to that of The Shire.
– Los Angeles and western Texas in the USA, and Alice Springs in Australia, have an annual-average climate very similar to that of Mordor.

De là à dire qu'Hollywood est en Mordor...
