Idiot environmentalist Lewis Pugh resurfaces

Articles | Kayaker bids for Pole failure - ITV News

An environmentalist is aiming to become the first person to kayak to the North Pole - but hopes the expedition will fail.

Lewis Pugh - who has previously braved temperatures of -1.7C to swim in the Arctic ocean - wants to show how cracks in the ice have now made the route from teh Norwegian island of Spitsbergen possible.

The 38-year-old said: "Scientists predict that this is the first year that the North Pole will be ice-free. I hope I fail.

"I hope I don't get all the way there, because that means the scientists are right. This expedition is only possible because of climate change and I will see that up close."

Sam Branson, son of Sir Richard Branson, will join Mr Pugh on the journey and write a blog.

This is the same guy whose fingers were numb for "several months" after swimming at the North Pole last year.

Note that it's not even rare for the North Pole to be ice-free.
