U.S. Climate Scientists Flee For France To ‘Make Our Planet Great Again’
The Huffington Post ^ | May 3, 2018 | By Dominique Mosbergen

Fourteen climate researchers, including six from U.S. universities, have been selected for French President Emmanuel Macron’s “Make Our Planet Great Again” initiative. The scientists applied to move to France to carry out climate science projects in the country’s top research laboratories.

The selected researchers include some of America’s brightest scientific talents: Alexey Fedorov, a Yale professor and Guggenheim fellow, and James Clark, a Duke University climate expert, according to a press release Wednesday from France’s Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

The applicants’ projects, covering a range of topics including Arctic climate change and improving air quality, are expected to last three to five years. Each researcher will receive at least $600,000 in funding, according to the statement, which noted that Germany is now jointly supporting the initiative.

Macron first introduced “Make Our Planet Great Again” last year, after President Donald Trump announced plans to pull the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement. Macron urged climate scientists and others around the world to apply for an opportunity to work in France.

Trump’s “decision is unfortunate but it only reinforced our determination,” Macron said in a message on the initiative’s website. “France has always led fights for human rights. Today, more than ever, we are determined to lead (and win!) this battle on climate change.”

All these “Americans,” with names like Alexey Fedorov? Take away his green card while he’s out of the country and don’t let him return. Maybe he can take that “Fat Female Muslim English Professor” from Fresno State with him. We sure have let a lot of human excrement into our country, haven’t we!

I get a laugh out of very early morning NPR....they were running with, Rudy has dementia, just like Trump, and even if it is cold where you are, the planet is warming due to evil white men. I also was a first hand witness before 2016 election when they started the evillllll Fake News stuff. It was so obvious. Then the msm ran with it, hour after hour. Then Trump, Limbaugh, Hannity grabbed the ball and ran with it. Then NPR demanded Fake News should never be said again. It was hilarious. Pull the plug on tax money going to these Leftist creeps.

“Climate scientist fleas” seems more appropriate.

They don't have snowball's chance in hell of "saving" the planet...Maybe partly because they're not sacrificing enough of their own blood to their god. Let's do this thing!
