Well it wasn't so much climate as the fossils that have been found. Fossils have been found in Antarctica of plants that only occur in tropical climates so at one point it must have had a tropical climate. That is the most dramatic example but there are more subtle ones that led him to believe that the continents, at one point, must have been in different locations on the Earth and then moved to where they currently are.
Alfred Wegener used climate clues like that North america and Europe have the same rock layers in their own countries. Thats how Alfred Wegener used climate clues.
He found out that some fossils in South American and Africa from the same dinosaur or animal that died during that time frame. The climate in South America is almost the same as the one in Africa so he thought it had the same place at one place in time
Alfred Wegener used climate clues to support his theory about continental drift. One piece of evidence he used as a clue was the fact that some of the fossils he found were species that only grew in one type of climate, but he found them in different climates. Ferns were found in the arctic. Alfred found glacial areas are now desert, and are now tropical climate zones.
He used climate clues and fossil clues and rock clues to figure out for example he found that it was warm in the south and the north and he found dinosaurs fossils on different continents and he found out that there was the same rocks on different continents.

Thats true, he found fossils in climates there shouldn't be those types of fossils!
Alfred Wegener used climate to support his hypothesis by multiple types of organisms that can not live in specific climates are found there. Some evidence for this fact is that some types of dinosaurs that need warm climates to live were found in Antarctica. This is some evidence for this claim.

One of the pieces of evidence towards Wegener's theory were some clues from the climate. One of these clues were fossils of creatures that only lived in warm places in places where they couldn't possibly be.
Hot rocks move up to the surface of the earth and then separate in two different directions, hot rocks also fall down and thats what makes the continents move.
