Oh, no-what if all climate alarms leave and never come back?
When scientists fled to France, we witnessed new brain loss.”
A French university said it is providing safe harbors to U.S. scientists at Yale, Stanford, NASA and NIH.

France's Aix Marseille University said 40 American scientists sent out earlier this month “answer the phone” to provide a safe haven for fleeing Americans. American scientists under the Trump regime are facing sudden losses of strict funding in the fields of speech and research. According to Eric Berton, president of Aix Marseille University Some of them will find homes in France.
The university announced in a press release on its “Safe Science Space” initiative that 40 U.S. scientists include people from Stanford, Yale, NASA, the National Institutes of Health and George Washington University. It says that most of their research topics are related to “health, epidemiology, infectious diseases, inequality, immunology, etc.), environment and environment Climate change…and humanities and social sciences…and astrophysics.transparent
Aix Marseille University called on U.S. scientists on March 7, and the Trump administration is raising funds from many universities and imposing huge restrictions on research topics, according to news reports. “We have witnessed new brain loss,“We will do everything we can to help as many scientists continue to research. But we can't meet all the requirements alone,” Benton said on March 12. Then he Calls on French and European governments to seek help.

This is not the first time France has taken such a stunt.
Despite France's generous financial support, France last provided a safe haven for the safe haven, and many climate scientists remained in the United States.
Maybe this time the situation will be different, and all the alarmed climate scientists will move to Europe.
To be fair, France has a well-funded academic system, but that's almost where to stop. France is not the reason for startups like Google and Facebook. High taxes and excessive regulations in France prevent American-style entrepreneurs and startups.
France has no secret to their hostility to large corporations. France and other European countries often criticize “Anglo-Saxon capitalism”, which means laissez-faire capitalism, a French position that is rather pathetic and historically inaccurate.
Of course, the term “Laissez-Faire” was the French, a sentence coined in the 17th century when French philosophers regarded economic freedom as a path to liberation from feudal systems and economic stagnation. The French retreated sadly from this glorious near-free moment, which, in my opinion, was an element of the ancient feudal system that created a closely controlled command economy supervised by feudal bureaucrats, a straightforward form of capitalism, with French and European states always firmly controlling France and European states.
Nevertheless, France may be a good opportunity for scientists who never plan to be any economic productivity. As long as your philosophy enjoys the Lord, becoming a court philosopher in a feudal state is a salary.
