Remember back in 2008, when Lewis Pugh tried to kayak to the North Pole, only to become stuck in ice after traveling only 10% of the distance to his goal?

Now he remembers being *shocked* at how melted the ice was, and remembers that his kayak story helped inspire the British Prime Minister to enact climate hoax legislation.

I will never forget the first time I saw a polar bear. I was in awe of its absolute beauty. I realised at that moment that I may be one of the last people to see them alive.He says in 2008, he tried to kayak to the North Pole. Pugh: "I didn't get all the way there but I was so shocked by what I saw, that I got on the phone, I was out in the Arctic, I got on the satellite phone and I called Downing Street and I spoke to the Prime Minister Gordon Brown and I said to him: 'Prime Minister, we have wholly underestimated the speed of climate change.' I remember in 2007 when I was in the Arctic, the majority of the ice north of Svalbard was about 3m thick. Just about 13 to 14 months later, it was barely a meter thick. And standing there on the sea ice, describing this to the Prime Minister, I think it made an impact on him. Very very shortly afterwards, he enacted legislation which went to the British Parliament cutting our carbon emissions in Britain by 80% by 2050."
