This week, Alain Robert, dubbed the "French Spiderman," scaled the walls of the New York Times building in Times Square, New York.In a press release he said the stunt, which he performed Tuesday, June 5, was "a peaceful way to create support for far greater and urgent action from world leaders on global warming."
While climbing, he hung a large, yellow banner with a message about the urgency in taking greater action against global warming.
He was later arrested and charged in a Manhattan court Friday, but released on parole, court officilas said.
Still, his action was nothing short of admirable and ingenious (but kids, don't try this at home!). His stunt, and the message behind it, definitely drew the attention of not only New Yorkers, but people around the country and around the world.
Bravo, monsieur!
