The scientists have been stuck aboard the stricken MV Akademik Schokalskiy since Christmas Day, with repeated sea rescue attempts being abandoned as icebreaking ships failed to reach them.

We'll have another ice age on our hands if we don't start burning some more coal!
No one should lift a finger to help these complete idiot. May their deaths be a reminder to all Who is really IN CHARGE!
Liberals are liars.
