Could there be an inhabitable planet without distinct climates?

Yes. Why would climatic homogeneity prevent any of the building blocks for abiogenesis? At first glance, I'd expect it to make things easier for life.

I was asking whether it's physically possible for a planet, especially one that's got land masses, to not have climates.
