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
By Martin Enserink Feb. 10, 2017 , 8:15 AM
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.”
…
Lets hope US climate scientists take up Macron’s offer.
I’ve got to say there are worse places to live. French food is fantastic, the women are beautiful. In many rural regions, such as the lovely Lespignan, the delicious local wine is served using petrol bowsers attached to 10,000 litre tanks – you either bring your own plastic container, or they supply one. France also has its own space programme, no doubt they could help climate scientists with any additional satellites they require.
Of course, if climate skeptic Presidential candidate Marine Le Penn wins the election, the offer might be withdrawn. So best be quick.
go! and don’t come back till you’ve taught the french to speak english- which is the lingua franca of science.
You mean like pound avoirdupoids and ounces (fluid or otherwise), inches and feet and furlongs and miles and gallons etc. etc.
And yet NASA went to the moon using the English system. Only when it converted to metric did it start to screw the pooch.
Gloateus says: “NASA went to the moon using the English system.”

This is not true.

“data was stored internally in metric units”
i think i understood your comment. over 200 years ago a french citizen invented the système métrique.

NASA’s trip to the moon? Could NASA have disrupted the moon’s cycles and triggered this whole global warming and high tide thing? Could this be the real reason why other nations refused to stake their claims there? Oh wait! . . . can it be . . . it’s like . . . are we looking through a Jester’s kaleidoscope . . .
Damn straight! And don’t forget degrees Fahrenheit!
Looks like nobody got the joke.
I think it is a brilliant idea. I would suggest building a community for these climate scientists next to the Jungle in Calais. That would be climate justice, in my opinion.
I was going to suggest those Islamic Sharia run “ghettos” around Paris where the French Police won’t even venture…
Since they already spend most of their expense account money in France anyway, this will not be a big step.
and then there’s

We need the space for all the legit asylum seekers trying to get here.

I really feel sorry for the Venezuelan people, but you reap what you sow. They allowed a socialist totalitarian into power, and this is the end result. I wish it were not true, and I wish we could give them democracy, but there is no shortcut to freedom. It must be earned. It is no different for individuals; you appreciate the things most that you worked the hardest for. This is the reality of our world.
I volunteer to help them move. If they will just go away and keep their mouth shut I won’t kick ’em in the ass on the way out.
Maybe France will take the disgusting Elon Mush-rat as well.
Musk-rats only “genius” is his ability to rake in $billions in subsidies.
Now the parasite is sucking up to Trump.
One can only hope Trump tells him to foxtrot oscar.
The language used in that comment reminds me so much of the one in force in the good old South African Republic or Ipre-war Germany. SOME RACIST TWITTER!!!
If Musk-rats ideas made commercial sense they would not need tax-payers subsidy.
They are not and they do.
Musk-rats genius is selling himself.
“The language used in that comment reminds me so much of the one in force in the good old South African Republic or Ipre-war Germany.”
How ’bout the clouds? See any racists looming up there, François? ; )
When you want to know what some people are thinking, just look at what they are always accusing others of thinking.
I am not a huge fan of Tesla, however I believe his company would still be successful even without the subsidies (which other car companies also take advantage of). His cars would just be more expensive. Since they already are priced out of reach of the average consumer even with the subsidies, they are only being purchased by the wealthy. They could easily buy them even without the subsidies, and most probably would. Elon is simply taking advantage of the programs in place, just like you take every deduction you legally can when filing your taxes.
Elon’s SpaceX is successful without any subsidies. Yes, he has contracts with the government, but that is not a subsidy. He provides a real service for those dollars, and for much less than his competitors. While SpaceX has had it’s setbacks (as all launch providers have), they seem to back on track now. We shall see going forward if they are or not.
So don’t be angry at the people that take advantage of subsidies and tax deductions/credits. They are acting rationally as they tend to their own best interests. Instead aim your fury at the people that created those subsidies and tax loopholes. They are the ones you should be pissed at.
So, Trump needs to stop the subsidies and deductions/credits.
Let the buyers pay for their luxury cars.
Mike,
Indeed. But President Trump needs the help of Congress to change the tax laws. There are many bought and paid for by wealthy special interests in that group that will try to obstruct the effort. If we voters help out in 2018 by removing some of them from the Senate, there is a chance meaningful tax reform could become a reality.
I will pay the one way air fare of any “climate scientist” and his family who moves to France. There are conditions. The “climate scientist” must terminate any of his grants from the US government, and renounce his citizenship.
Seems a maneuver of desperation, i.e. he knows he’s behind in the real poll numbers (not the Main Stream Media disinformation) and he is desperate for more numbers. But those arriving would need to be immediately citizenized. Perhaps by accepting service in the French Foreign Legion?
This scheme, if successful, is the same as what Abraham Lincoln did with Irish and German immigrants (by accepting service to the Union Army i.e. the 69th New York Infantry — The Irish Brigade, they gained citizenship) before the 1864 election, which Lincoln won.

The former Chancellor Merkel assistant Schavan is german consultant to the Vatican after dismissing her science degrees.
Who needs science anyway when it’s settled.
And just HOW are immigration bans (actually a temporary stay) impacting climate scientists? Are Syrian meteorologists and astrophysicists piling up at the entry gates?
As for the former, your job as a Climate Scientist is to work on the science; not to do personal press releases about what your agency is paying you to do. In every NORMAL organization there is an approved process that reviews what is released to the public.
Perhaps it could improve ‘climate science’ in both the US and France.
Mondieur Macron reminds me of a character in the Asterix and the Picts book, a guy named MacAroon.
Anthony, Lespignan may be lovely but it has a grim history. See:

Yes, good riddance. Maybe they could take some of our global warming politicians as well. Trudeau and Notley for starters.
Wow, Trump himself couldn’t have come up with a better plan to drain the swamp. Of course, it’s just an empty promise, and would never happen anyway. I call it “victim signaling”. The climate leeches, with their ideology coming undone are now the “victims”. And all they were doing wrong was trying to “save the planet”.
Oh, the inanity

nice turn of phrase. useful descriptor. i will pirate that, tnx.
Saving the planet . . from those crapping birds and creepy bats . .
A brief history of puppets.
Globalist oligarchs (that is Soros types, pro migration, NoBorders agenda and naturally green carbon scam peddlers) have figured that youth can be used to fool people. It worked with Trudeau Jr. in Canada.
In France, Juppe was groomed to become the perfect incarnation of boredom and submission to this agenda. French center right voters decided otherwise with a 2 to 3 vote in favor of Fillon, Sarkozy’s former PM.
Dumping Juppe, Macron was suddenly brought to the pinnacle of media coverage and is supposed to become the French Trudeau: that is a perfect puppet. Macron has more substance than the Canadian one because Europeans are simply more refined, politically. Yet, he will submit to Rothschild/Soros will 100%. He is their creation.
To complete the trick, the system managed to exhume some old story, that could be applied to any politicians and dubbed it Penelopegate with the help of Juppe’s supporters and the media.
So Macron taking this positioning is perfectly in tune with the carbon peddlers: He is their toy.
A lunatic asylum for climate scientists. A great idea.
This is sad beyond belief. Paris used to attract the people who changed the world. Now it attracts climate scientists. link, link
It looks like all the cool kids are going to Berlin these days.
Climate refugees.
😁
“I’ve got to say there are worse places to live. French food is fantastic, the women are beautiful…”
well sir, that’s mostly crap on both accounts
as if climate scientists are all tall, dark and handsome rather than homely, socially awkward and sexually unattractive to “beautiful women”
there is fantastic food to found in all countries except Canada and the UK
Find a Canadian church dinner. Fantastic food!!! Fall is the best time to find church dinners.
Please oh please take them all
Adios! 🙂
This is a great opportunity to:
Win the war against climate change.
Reduce the Federal workforce.
Export opponents of liberty and prosperity.
Talk about a win-win-win situation!
Is it not obvious what his plan is? he will put the first climate scientists to work in the polling companies to make a hockey stick of his approval ratings, the second tranche of climate refugees, er I mean climate scientists will then go to work in the French Electoral Committee with responsibility for vote counting… come May 8th the headlines will read…
“Zut Alors! Macron est le new Presidente avec 97% of le Vote!!”
