How does the climate work on a flat earth? Why does it get colder the further north or south or up you go?

You misunderstand. I was saying that there is legitimate evidence and research regarding the posit (and for some, conclusion) of a flat earth which does not involve vague claims and 5 hour youtube infotainment drivel.
The best evidence that the world cannot be spherical comes from hydrostatics - specifically the study of the surface of still water. It cannot and does not, under natural conditions, curve convexly in the manner the globe model requires. The reason we know this is because we have measured it - repeatedly. The surface of still water at rest (barring negligible surface tension artifacts) is always flat, level, and horizontal. It’s been a scientific law for more than 3 centuries now. If the world is covered in water the way currently believed/depicted - it cannot be spherical as a result.
You still aren’t hearing me. Everyone has evidence for everything (that they want). It’s trivial. You have evidence for the things you believe, just like everyone else has evidence for the things they believe. That doesn’t make the things they believe correct! I hope you can understand what i’m saying, and if not - ask questions!
If it is meaningless to you, it is because you don’t understand it. When you don’t understand, ask questions!
Let me show you something

Fun.
Do you think water that is falling is at rest (And do you think that this is not a demonstration of surface tension artifacts, besides)?
The above is a demonstration of isostatic air pressure and surface tension. Water can indeed take any shape when force is applied to it. Its surface only takes the one at rest (barring negligible surface tension artifacts and under natural condition; qualifiers added to stifle pedantry).
The laws of science are established down here on earth, where all science is practiced.
What force is applied to water in zero gravity?
How is water in zero gravity "falling"?
Think very carefully about your answer. You are almost there.
Leaving aside the fact that zero gravity is a misnomer/misunderstanding, the answer is air pressure.
Because “zero gravity” is not a thing. The water in the video is in freefall (even if you believe in orbit) and still very much under the force of gravitation (to use your parlance).
Practice what you preach! If you earnestly care to learn, you’ll get there eventually.
