The more we climb, the cooler it becomes.

If we climb more, it becomes cooler.
= The more we climb, the cooler it becomes.

Is there a no meaning difference between the two sentences? So my question is 'the comparative, the comparative' structures have the same meaning as 'If clauses"?

Thank you so much as usual in advance!
