Leading French Presidential Candidate Emmanuel Macron has invited the entire US climate science community to relocate to France.
Climate scientists wary of Trump: Please come to France, says presidental hopeful

The mediagenic wunderkind of French presidential politics has a message for U.S. scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs working on climate change and worrying about their future under President Donald Trump: Come to France.
In a video posted to his Facebook and Twitter accounts late last night (and hashtagged #ScienceMarch), Emmanuel Macron renewed his commitment to fighting global warming and extended a warm welcome: “We want people working on climate change, energy, renewables, and new technologies. France is your nation.”
He may well get an opportunity to make good on his promise. Polls released this week suggest that Macron, the founder of a new center-left party who is campaigning on environmental protection, has soared past two more traditional candidates and is likely to face Marine Le Pen, the leader of the extreme-right National Front, in the 7 May runoffs. One poll says he’d defeat her with 63% of the votes.
For most scientists, moving to France is easier said than done, says Michael Halpern, deputy director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C. “It’s not as if you can just pick up a NASA climate satellite and just reassign it to France,” Halpern says. “But politicians the world over now recognize that science is a global endeavor, and seem increasingly eager to ensure that it is not disrupted by political interference. Gag orders and immigration bans do make it more challenging for scientists to do their work.”

Actually, I say seize climate "scientists'" passports and prosecute all the hoaxers on RICO charges.
Sounds like a win win
For those who aren’t familiar with Macron (this candidate in France)....the general French public says mostly the same thing. The guy appeared out of thin air. He’s a virtual copy of President Obama in 2008. He has virtually no real job experience except he’s been pulled around over the past decade for plum-like jobs....showing almost no success or failure....basically an empty suit.
Offering asylum? As in insane asylum?
Sorry, I should of given you a H/T :-)
“... not disrupted by political interference...”
ROFL...it is nothing but political, you idiot....
Concern trolls.
I’m not seeing a downside here...
Y’all go to France...and take ALphonse GOREaux with you...
And take John Effin Kerry with you too, he speaks French.
Plus, he served in Vietnam....
Is the election about who’s got the prettier face?
Discriminatory as hell! Surely France can take in millions of emotionally crippled liberals, lefties, anarchists and snowflakes. They all worship at the “climate change” altar as well. We need the breathing room in the US. It would improve our climate considerably.
Does that include the fraud Michael Mann (Mr. hockey shtick)?
How much grant money will France give them?
Good idea.
Lowers the average IQ of France, increases ours.
“Discriminatory as hell! Surely France can take in millions of emotionally crippled liberals, lefties, anarchists and snowflakes. They all worship at the “climate change” altar as well. We need the breathing room in the US. It would improve our climate considerably.”
And they can be on the front lines against ISIS.
Good.
Let France pay for fake science.
We’ll offer him a bargain rate on illegal aliens too. We know the French Socialists love them.
If Trump announced that there would only be grants to those working to dis-prove man made global warming 99% of those scientist would switch sides. They are nothing but prostitutes following the money.
