So this would suggest that the Goidelic languages (Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Manx) are derived from the Brittonic languages (Welsh, Breton, Cornish). [1]
I wonder how this affects the different proto-Celtic to modern Celtic languages hypothesis. [1]
This would suggest the following language tree: Breton -> (Cornish / Welsh) -> Irish Gaelic -> (Manx / Scottish Gaelic).

This doesn't make sense: "With summertime temperatures typically -10°C to -20°C".
Maybe the negative was mistakenly added, and nobody noticed in editing? 10°C to 20°C would be reasonable for a "forested and grassland plateau".

Agreed, that jumped out at me also. Those numbers make no sense
