French President Offers US Climate Scientists €1.5 Million Each to Move to France

Guest essay by Eric Worrall

French President Emmanuel Macron has launched a new website which offers senior US climate researchers up to €1.5 Million (almost USD $1.7 million) each to move to France. My question to US climate scientists – what are you waiting for?

‘Your new homeland’: France’s Macron launches website to woo US scientists

Text by Joseph BAMAT Latest update : 2017-06-09

French President Emmanuel Macron this week launched a website which aims to encourage US scientists and researchers frustrated with President Donald Trump’s position on climate change to move to France.

The website “Make Our Planet Great Again” was a clear dig at Trump and his June 1 announcement that he would withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement, but also made good on an appeal Macron made back in February.

The website said senior university faculty members, but also junior researchers and PhD candidates, were eligible to move to France to work on climate change, earth system science or energy transition projects, promising generous financing and help with moving to the country.

It said senior researchers could apply for grants up €1.5 million, which would cover researchers’ salaries, as well as compensation for additional staff and work expenses. Junior researchers could apply for grants of up to €1 million.

“There is no restriction on your husband / wife working in France,” the site reassured scientists, adding: “If you have children, note that French public schools are free, and the tuition fees of universities and “grandes écoles” [highly competitive French universities] are very low compared to the American system.”

I hope all these anti-science, grant-driven idiots leave ASAP. Heck.,..I’ll even kick in a few dollars for an “upgrade” on their seats. This is only if they promise to never come back and to leave us alone. I hope they enjoy not showering, getting murdered by moozlums and eating stinky cheese.

Marcon’s on to something. Windmills and solar panels will most certainly save France from ISIS.

Brain gain for the U.S. if these close-minded ignorant fools move on over to France.
