How the climate of a world with Everest as South Pole will looks like?

In the last few days I've been thinking about how we could make a world where temperate climates were more abundant, I ended up thinking about a slightly different version of Jaredia, as you can see on this map the North Pole would be more or less in the State of Red Sea in Sudan, while the South Pole would be somewhere in French Polynesia, at the same time I moved the Americas to the South (West in OTL), making California much closer to Hawaii and the Antarctic Circle passing OTL west of Mexico. Also, as you can see, I added some lands from submerged mountain ranges like Zeelandia, Kerguelen, Rio Grande and Walvis Ridge
This means that most of the world would be located in the temperate zones of the globe,
Likewise, as you can see, I didn't consider rising sea levels, as I really don't know how things would be affected, what do you think? Would things be more or less like Jaredia? including Greenland as a peninsula, the much larger Caspian Sea and an existing Bering Bridge? what do you think?

Am I wrong in saying that with the fact that the Atlantic is much larger, the winds would travel a very long distance and we would end up with the entire Atlantic coast region being hit by constant and massive gales and hurricanes?
The Climate Zones of the World
I decided added some lands from submerged mountain ranges like Zeelandia, Kerguelen, Rio Grande and Walvis Ridge too make the things more coolwhy is new zealand on steroids???
Imagine hurricanes forming in Antarctica and winding up in Greenland or Siberia on the other side of the world.Am I wrong in saying that with the fact that the Atlantic is much larger, the winds would travel a very long distance and we would end up with the entire Atlantic coast region being hit by constant and massive gales and hurricanes?
I can't even imagine how big they would beImagine hurricanes forming in Antarctica and winding up in Greenland or Siberia on the other side of the world.
That I know not.I can't even imagine how big they would be
Also, how do you think rising sea levels affect geography? Would it be like Jaredia or would it have different changes?
I think higher sea levels are more plausible, the north pole is somewhere in northern Ethiopia, so practically the entire north pole would be on land.You could make the argument for either jaredia type lower sea levels of higher sea levels(like the one worldbuildingpasta scenario with a polar africa that's acontinent of taiga).
My goal was to have a world where temperate climates (Mediterranean, oceanic and continental) were the dominant climates. Can you talk more and develop the topic? I'm pretty new to this alternative climate thing, but I'm really interested in trying to make a more complex mapIf you go with Jaredia type drops? Pretty plausible. If you decide to go with boreal forst africa then no.
Anyone else has a opinion about the possible climate and biomes of this world?In the last few days I've been thinking about how we could make a world where temperate climates were more abundant, I ended up thinking about a slightly different version of Jaredia, as you can see on this map the North Pole would be more or less in the State of Red Sea in Sudan, while the South Pole would be somewhere in French Polynesia, at the same time I moved the Americas to the South (West in OTL), making California much closer to Hawaii and the Antarctic Circle passing OTL west of Mexico.

Huh I guess it really is that simple.I moved the Americas to the South (West in OTL)
