What if most would-be Israelis immigrated to the USA after WWII?

I think youd have to have had a change before the war. If antisemitism were less, which youd need anyway, you could get more jews escaping nazi germany, which would give them more political clout, which combined with those same lower levels of antisemitism, might allow this.

Where does it say about affecting the climate? Imagine if Alaska interior could become habitable, instead of the giant swath of nothing it is today. Wonder how different Barrow would be :p

It may have been another source I looked at. I like cool mega projects. Broadly speaking, water moderates the climate. Lake effects snow take very cold air and make it only cold air plus snow. Until a lake freeze over, it takes away the very cold (less than 10F) temperatures. The snow will melt in the spring, giving you about the same type summer. So you get a summer that starts a couple weeks later, but a winter delay by 4-8 weeks on the worst part of it. The snow will also insulate the ground, likely lessening the permafrost.

Even much smaller Lakes have localized weather effect. You always get wetter, and you normally get milder (less extreme). I do remember one source talking about the benefits similar to lake Baku, but I am not terribly familiar with the weather patterns around the lake.
