How much of earths climate and global politics would change?
Also what about after? How would the landscape and the surrounding environment change with these extremes in temperature?

Everyone in both countries would be dead.
-100 would be terrible but people would survive if they could stay inside for 4 months with heating.
100 celcius is boiling water so everyone would die. I would assume even air conditioning wouldn’t keep up and all the water would evaporate.
Weather lots and lots of weather. Oh and as u/WreckinRich said: everyone in both countries is very very dead
Everyone in America and nearly everyone in Russia dies. The huge amount of extra heat pouring into the atmosphere from America and getting sucked out through Russia probably roughly balance out in terms of total heat change, but the regional effects lead to wind and storms like we’ve never seen before. The global economy collapses from the mass casualties even before the storms are taken into account, and global politics are dominated by an EU that’s probably crumbling from the climatic effects and economic devastation, a better off but still damaged China, and a comparatively unaffected Oceania power bloc formed by Australia, New Zealand, and whichever other nations are desperate enough to latch on under the circumstances.
Nah, probably no noticeable change to anything
Russia would be on better position.
You can warm up being underground. They have gas and oil. There are already places where people live with -60 degrees and they are fine warm insides). Check YouTube.
US would be in worse position, yes, you can still go underground, but it is harder to cool down.
All land would be dead and destroyed by fire. This would affect whole earth for sure with pollution and smoke.
Question is: would it be instant heat up / cold down or would happen gradually?
If instant then 95% or more of population in both countries would be probably dead.
Countries around? Depends how this temperature would be controlled? Straight away finish at borders or not?
Anyway it would definitely affect whole world and whatever we like it or not – China would be a new global leader.
So sudden ice age for Russians with an eviroment twice as cold as the coldest places on earth and sudden literal hell for Americans where water everywhere would be boiling and evaporate within a week.
They’re dead. Nations collapsed. Straight up an Apocalypse for both regions as they have become inhabital for any form of life. The heat in America would fuck with the surrounding climate of other nations and so will Russia which covers an insane amount of landmass that touches european and asian countries alike. Global climate would be hella fucked for the continents. Though maybe due to Russia’s size, it probably would cool down the planet overall by a degree or two.
Then there’s also like 450 million less people on earth , assuming some survive and escape the countries in time and the climate change was gradually and not instant.
Why are you always asking this
The Russian side is bad. Almost total loss of life. But possibly survivable under specific conditions. You’ve then got a Russia sized -100C heat sink running for 4 months. Most of the connected countries would experience similar mini-apocalypses. But cold can be mitigated somewhat, so there’s a vague hope.
The American side is the real issue. 100% loss of all complex life within minutes. Followed by a 100C heat source the size of the US chugging for 4 months. I doubt much of anything from Winnipeg to the tip of South America would survive. Surrounding ocean temperatures rocket, massive boil-offs occur at the coasts. Ocean currents change globally. Ocean stew.
And where the two fronts meet… you would see the most apocalyptic hurricanes that you could imagine. But they’d be way worse than that.
It’s a global extinction event. I doubt humans survive it. Our society certainly doesn’t.
everyone in the general vicinity maybe globally is dead im not a weather scientist but sounds like a massive hurricane in the Alaska Siberia area and smaller ones all along both borders especially US-CA and ru-general middle east
