@umaa, Each although and but is used seperately and individually to show contrast in a sentence.
Well in my short stint with the SC, I havent seen both of them in one sentence, just my observation though, can be wrong.
Others thoughts??

A is incorrect as it includes the adjective form "extremes" when a noun form "extremities" is preferred. The stress is on the extreme nature of the climate not on merely the climate.

I think the sentence compares the libraries in Europe to the libraries in Unite States, therefore the sentence needs as those that

This eliminates A,C and D. Now between B and E, I'd rather pick B ....

Can someone explain why E is better than B? or what's wrong with B?
