Fourteen climate researchers, including six from U.S. universities, have been selected for French President Emmanuel Macrons Make Our Planet Great Again initiative. The scientists applied to move to France to carry out climate science projects in the countrys top research laboratories.
The selected researchers include some of Americas 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 Frances 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.
Trumps decision is unfortunate but it only reinforced our determination, Macron said in a message on the initiatives 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.

Climate Change?
Exactly what is changing? Temperature?...debunked. Arctic ice?...debunked. Antarctic ice?...debunked. Sea level?...debunked. CO2?...debunked.
Only climate change battle is to steal more money from the USA.
Former president of NPR said NPR was a liberal echo chamber.
So, they think they can do better then God! We will see!
Beat me to it!
Winning.
I wish we could get more similar people to move out.
They’re just blowing hot air.
Too bad for them their money making scam in the US failed. Oh well. Still plenty of suckers over in Yurpland.
The anti-science, grant-grubbing liars and obfuscators need to leave. Tear-up their passports. Good riddance to these distorting chronic liars.
Will you get beat up for wearing that hat?
Unless they renounce their American citizenship, there is zero behind it.
Busted!! Hey franc, all these charlatans wanted was money! Any other retarded scientists want to go?
Cool, that means University funds are starting to dry up in the USA.
Kind of matches the EPA shakeup.
Is being selected the same as fleeing?-)
So a bunch of fleas fleeing to France is a bad thing?
Sacre bleu.

Ok...Are they fleeing to live in France? Or is the headline fake news?
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
Fixed it.
“France has always led fights for human rights”
Oh, PUHLEEEZE!!! ROTFLMAO!!! Like their blood orgy of the French Revolution? Their treatment of the Huguenots? Their enthusiastic collaboration with the Nazis in furtherance of the Holocaust???
