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.”

What are these climate scientists going to do? I thought climate science is all ready settled.
So they do have money. They means they don’t need it from us.
Maybe our institutions of higher learning will be devoted to real science again. Can we convince Mama’s boy Macron to take all the professors of African-American studies, Women’s Liberation theory and Queer Theology as well?
Best French President EVER!
He loves America.
(I think)
While he’s at it, why doesn’t Macron offer to pay Obama to move there too. Those European leaders miss Obama so much, so, why not “give” Obama to them forever?
Who does this guy think he is giving money away like that , Barack Obama???
Make sure it is tax free.
The global warmist “scientist’s” young daughters, will get to submit to imams dirty assaults.
You think we might sweeten the pot a little? Just to try to make sure they go.
Quelle horreur!
We are losing the best scientists money can buy.
There’s a nice big income tax surprise in France.
