he came to our school and what a legend insperational when speaking ...
SO inspiring, Lewis. Huge plaudits to you and the fine work you're doing. As someone who loves swimming in cold water, I can barely imagine how you survived. Bowing to you.
The water Ice bucket challenge would be a regular shower for Lewis....
This was one of the most painful things I have ever watched in my entire life!
Wow
What a solid man Lewis Pugh?
I got the point but I think the point he was making was off topic.
I thought the point he was trying to make was the "swimming" aspect, where ice was etc... He made such a big deal about how cold it was to swim, you would think he would just swim it in a wetsuit or drysuit. If your going to swim in -1deg water nearly naked I thought you would be smart enough to dress for the occasion.. Otherwise stop complaining about your fingers being cold!
Who cares if he survived it...
I'm sure it does, but he's still swimming at the NORTH POLE! I doubt there are -1 wetsuits that would keep him toasty up there. It's still reckless and it's still makes his point without endangering his extremities.
Jesus! I thought he was gonna do it for 10-20 seconds. I would never have DREAMED that you could do that for 18 + minutes and survive.
"It's fucking freezing!" hahaha
I saw him speak yesterday, so inspiring!
i suspect his hands did not get frost bite because his swimming strokes created a centrifugal force forcing warmer blood from his core into his hands.
spin an arm in circles quickly and you can feel the blood going into your finger tips.
Okay this is actually the best comment out here. It is sad that 14 years later I am the only one who liked this.
This man incredible,awesom and perfect. I want this man's ambition to be mine

me too
Whim Howw would see this as a short "warming up" round...
But i think, it`s impressive, too !
actually i swam in water that is -3 Centigrade in Europe in Baltic at night.... It gave me a cramp in my leg and it was cold but if you move and there is a shore you swimming too you dont feel cold untill you go out of the water... THEN ITS COLD
Very inspirational.
@Saktoth
Thanks for sharing the video.
Did anyone ever stop to think maybe its these ice breakers that's the problem?
Ice in the North Pole should be 100s of metres thick but due to global warming it has melted so much boats are now able to break through the wafer thin ice. I thought everyone knew that...
The rest of his videos are also excellent.
I think it's supposed to show that there is actually water for a man to swim in where there should be nothing but ice. I further suppose he thought a dramatic example was needed for our thickheaded skulls.
No wetsuit?! Jeez, my stepdad wears a wetsuit to swim in winter in Florida! Wow. That is just sheer will power. Amazing.
Lewis made the swim in the middle of July. That's the middle of Summer in the northern hemisphere, hence the lack of solid ice cap.
Still needed an icebreaker to get there in the middle of summer.
in a speedo?! well done Lewis, epic.
6:19 What did he just say???
TO A HOT shower?
HOT?
The luckiest person on Earth...
Very inspiring. Actually found the video through 4-hour body by Tim Ferriss. 👏🏼
love that guy. so inspiring
It's like I'm having a telephone conversation.

Explain why the Caps are disappearing within the 100 years we started to use fossil fuels versus the 3.4 billion years Earth has existed?
20 cars emit around 9,150 kg of carbon emissions per race. 17 races, i think, not sure as I dont watch em. Approx 155 550 kg per year. I dont know if that is a reliable number as there was no originality of the source for the 9 150 kg, so who knows. But now you have some kind of a point. Now we need someone to verify this number and you're set on how much effect F1 has on the global co2 emissions. 4 000 000 000 000 kg is the amount of natural emissions, please correct if I counted wrong.
Here is your point of view, as I understand it; You want to save the world, you dont want people to suffer. Living a careless life isn't worth it if the world falls apart. You want life to be preserved, and you dont want an iceage to destroy the world. And you find that taking steps, as banning racing and limiting cars etc is easy for you, and acceptable. Would you settle for living in the woods without healthcare etc, I dont know we havent discussed it, but some people would like that as well.

@ArgueExplain
I would imagine all the volcanoes on the earth, and your right the fires in California are not helping anything at all, and that's all nature.
I personally think were just going through a cycle.. if you study geology, you can tell when the ice caps expanded, and when they retreated in the past.. Actually pretty interesting stuff.
True.
very impressive video......and I would like to know what music is used
No swimsuit??? Wow, .. very amazing….!!!😂😮
no chapit
.....even without us the world would probably warm up but we are speeding the process up big time. Too fast for the environment to adapted to it.
AMAZING
Hey, who’s learning by Perspectives?
the rolex commercial is going to piss me off until I buy one
I am speechless !!
cont.
it wouldn't be realistic at all. We need to change a lot of things but let's start with what we can do here and now. Banning racing would not matter at all to the human civilization but it would still help on the issue of pollution.
Think of how many different kinds of racing there is.. Rally, various boats, plains, motorcycles, F1, monster trucks, Nascar, snowmobile etc etc etc.
It's not like we only need to worry about 20 F1 races a year or something like that.
can someone tell about the music in this incredible clip?
I never said that. I never said I dont believe cars pollute until I see numbers. I'm saying you can't go banning things because you just want to. You need to make your point, otherwise there's no point in discussing anything. I gave you numbers, now you can check if it's worth it to stop F1. And by worth I mean pissing off loads of people and taking the livelyhood from loads of people, just for cutting down anything. With that policy, we shoudl cut down on anything you see unuseful.
because he didn't need to. he's clearly the chuck noris of science
Lets not make the same mistakes again. If someone says global warming is a myth, giving him a thumbs down, or calling him a fucking fool isnt really doing anything, he wont change his mind. He might if you'd present him the facts of human fault in global warming. That's the way it works. Everything else is just banter and pointless arguing. So if you say, racing should be banned, I looked up the facts and gave them to you.
He has "X" amount of time to talk on TED... I dont want to hear Capt. Obvious tell me about how -1deg water was cold... I would rather hear about the ice and technical findings, half his time on stage was basically telling me that North pole water was cold... ... Enlightening
I think you're right. When the ice age ended, it wasn't because of car exhaust, it was because the Earth got warmer. Same goes for the ice age before that.
Thinking that we can stop the climate change now is like expecting us to keep the Ice Age from thawing.
I have to know what song homie was listening to before he jumped in
My point wasn't to blame it all on SUV's alone. I was only trying to say that the areas of SUV's and various forms of racing are some of the easiest areas to make a difference. SUV's aren't needed. Neither is racing. Sure, it's going to suck for the F1, Nascar, boat racing fans etc. but we simply can't keep putting people's entertainment over the future of the planet.
There's lots of things that could be entertaining but are already outlawed.
"it's fucking freezing" haha
wow, so humans could see x-rays back when the atomic bomb was invented?
Man, is that man a narciss or not?
Alexander Glantz All humankind are narcisists
Whoa. Wall of text! :O
Honestly, it's pointless trying to debate you. You just don't seem to get my point at all. I don't hate racing anymore than you. I mentioned 2 random points that we can change now. SUV's and racing. That was all.
And I do have facts on my side.. Even without doing tons of research. It's logic.
We need to cut down on the pollution, we agree that a racing car pollutes, we agree that racing isn't a needed thing. Where's the problem? You agree with me. I don't make crap up.
Amazing!
And there is no Penguins in the North pole :D lol, only in Southern Hemisphere and Antarctica.
440 gt (giga tons) naturally/year. 26.4 gt human emissions. From which 40% (10,56 gt) are naturally absorbed. 15,84 gt are left over.
So cut down emissions by 15,84 gt and you should have a balance. Racing would down 15,84gt by 0,0098%. You'd be left with 15,684450 gt. That's what cutting F1 from the world would do. Now I need to go. I'm almost running late.
And I agree, I dont see racing as useful, but something being just unuseful isnt enough, you need graphs, you need numbers, you need a valid point which isn't relative to anything but facts. And you need a plan, which I haven't heard from at all. All I've heard is a plan for cutting, but what is the plan I would like to know. This is how stuff gets handled, not just ranting on youtube repeating what other people with possible agendas say. Stop being so defencive, you need opposition to learn.
Hmm... so I fail to see the point of his stunt... the ship ride up to the north pole likely dumped a significant amount of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, so he could risk his life in the cold water? I just don't get it i guess.
20 minutes? ah jeez
Less ice in August? OMG what's next? kids building snowmen in December?
There's supposed to be ice up there all year round. That's how it has been for much of the earth's history.
Sigh.. You just don't get it. So until you find some numbers on a website you won't believe that racing cars cause pollution?
We always hear people talking about buying cars with a better fuel efficiency and that's wonderful. We need to do that.
But then it's ridiculous that we allow people to drive around in incredibly polluting cars just to have fun. What kind of signal are we trying to send here?
We need to cut down on pollution wherever we can. Racing is just one example. :S
lol @ 3:33
Of course it isn't pointless. We all know that a racing car (of any kind) uses more fuel than a normal family car.
"The fuel economy of a monster truck is 7 Gallons per Mile or 17 Litres per Kilometer" - Monsterjamonline . com
"Formula 1: 3.1 US mpg - 3.8 UK mpg - 1.3 km/l" - Wiki
I'm not saying that making racing illegal is THE solution but it seems pretty weird that no one talks about it. It's people driving around in circles for fun. Pointless pollution. :/
why didnt he have to cut off his fingers but the other guy did?
all of us will be swimming the pole soon
respect!
what was he listening to before he jumped into the water?
Menudo?
Claridad
Am I the only one watching this in 2021?
Yeah
i would have shat my pants
I have not filed for patents, nor do I want to until the final configuration is engineered. If I file, some guy in China will just copy it.
3 not negative 3 ....
cont.
Of course we still need to make stricter laws for companies around the world as well. But we can't just simply chimneys illegal like we can with SUV's and racing. Then we're back in the stone age.
The problems regarding companies is a much slower thing to change. We can't just say "No pollution from companies!" tomorrow and expect anything good to come from it. We still need the food, the clothes, the computers etc.
We need to start now though. Start with the things we don't need at all.
Why didn't he wear a wetsuit? I hardly think the point would be lost just because he chose to be 1% less reckless.
I'm sure you could find a graph of an estimated co2 emission of a single F1 race. Then times that by how many races there are a year. And I'm sure it wouldn't amount to much on a global scale. Then you need to find approx all races in a coutry or the world and show us how much is emitted by racing. Again, I'm sure it doesn't come to much. Think of the millions of cars compared to lets say 20 F1 races a year.
I'm still on edge when it comes to climate change / global warming or whatever it's called nowadays but I'm shocked this doesn't have one million views
It was called the Greenhouse Effect back in the 80's when I first heard of it. Most accurate name yet. Weird to watch it actually come true in my lifetime.
You mean "if I were you". It's the subjunctive.
It was intended to be purely emotive, just like Gore's melodrama.
There is plenty of info on the relationship between CO2, solar activity and median temperatures. Just avoid the IPCC bear-traps.
Regards from an environmentalist.
That ship is nuclear powered --- no CO2 emissions.
There are people in this world who think it doesn't matter if we destroy the world. I understand them, as it is their shoise, but it doesnt mean Im with them. They use faulty logic, as who would want their children to suffer? Some dont mind, including my parents, but mostly people care of what happens. Nothing should be taken for granted, that people should follow your views on saving the world, as some dont want to. You need facts, then you need to see the "price tag", then you need to debate.
Such feats regards our daily life problems as nothing.
lol potty mouth FTW
Don't want to spoil his dream, but isn't climate change irreversible in the short term? I'm not saying we should find ways of countering it, but the outlook is pretty bleak at the moment...
That's exactly the kind of selfish claim I was talking about. We've seen it plenty of times already.
People need to understand that if their "It doesn't do *that* much damage" claim works, then everyone can say the same. One factory doesn't do *that* much damage either but all the "small" things add up.
SUV makers could just as well be making electric cars or whatever. No jobs lost.
Racing could be electric too for that matter.. Wasting fossil fuels just isn't acceptable anymore.
for some reason this guy reminds me of arnold schwarzenegger...
I'm well aware of all that but you need to understand that I'm not going to ban anything. I'm not a politician. Obviously the people banning something needs to do all the research but claiming that I need to do it just to post a comment on UA-cam is insane.
You're doing the same thing as the people claiming global warming is just a myth though. You worry too much about pissing people off. That shouldn't even be a concern until we've done a lot for the environment..
I don't want to be wrong? What are you talking about. Anything that causes pollution just for the sake of entertainment will never be a wrong thing to ban.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm not trying to argue that normal cars are fine or that companies should not do anything. I'm just saying that pointless pollution like racing, SUV's etc. is something we can change NOW.
While it would be great if we could just ban all use of fossil fuels by tomorrow..
super duper cold!!!!!!

Where or not climate change is real/problem this was amazing!

who is here because of the assignment too?
Unfortunately I think that bizarre ideas like this is needed if people are ever to understand the problems. For some reason a lot of people seem to have a hard time believing that the problem even exists. :/
Something is seriously wrong when we (humans in general) even allow people to drive around in Hummers, do all kinds of car racing etc. when the planet is in this shape.
What's the point of having a huge car if humans can't live on the planet? They just don't get it. :S
The defining property of Jesus' message is His loving power runs through human beings who are willingly yielded to His Mind or Words which represent God His Father's creative power. Self has no place in God's realm aside from your own personality which doesn't change. It's God's power of Love through believers that makes it possible for man to see God! You've got to see God. He's invisible, but you can see Him through Jesus the man who lived just as we do! So self is not it! Spirit is!

That statement is fine. But, that does not make our achievements any less great.
i bet it was eye of the tiger!
Impressive to say the least, Im very comfortable in cold weather but -1, damn I dont think I could do that.
Im not very knowledgeable on this but as far as I know the climate did warm up by natural courses in the past, I think it was because of gasses from volcanoes & things like that.
Many volcanoes are extinct now but we have more than made up for the gasses produced by them.......
