"French Spiderman" Alain Robert Climbs NYT Building With Global Warming Banner

A man holding a bright green banner has ascended the north face of The New York Times's building, climbing about 10 stories while the police and security officials cordoned off the sidewalk on West 41st Street. He was still on the building as of 11:50 a.m. The words on the banner were illegible from the sidewalk, but from an office window on the ninth floor the slogan on the banner read: "Global warming kills more people than 9/11 every week." His T-shirt carried the address of a Web site: thesolutionissimple.org.

The man, who had long brown hair, appeared to be Alain Robert, a stunt man famous for scaling structures like the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, the Sydney Opera House in Australia and the the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower in Paris. He wore a T-shirt with Mr. Robert's name and Web site, and he looked like images of Mr. Robert that have been published widely in the press.

Be grateful. HP didn't post the NYT's coverage of this event which was covered by 15 or so NYT writers. There's the TransAmerica Tower in San Francisco & the Sears Tower in Chicago & all of the newer, taller towers in Asia to go yet. Which city do the climbers hit next?

Meanwhile, thousands of SUVs came to a screeching halt all across the nation as soccer moms realized they were destroying the environment. "It took the action of one "spiderman" to open my eyes," said one newly green mom.

Moms everywhere vowed to also throw away their tampons and use real cloths that can be washed and rewashed. "Just doing my part," said one Seattle mom.

Gee, wonder which corporatist funded THIS stunt. He probably stands to profit big-time from all the greenwashing.

It's time to quit with the globalist social engineering talking points and get smart.

3,000 people a week? 150,000 people/year? I wonder if he has a reference for this statistic?

I'm sure he doesn't. These liberals like to make up their own stats, like 1 million dead civilians in Iraq. Whatever it takes to push the propaganda. Truth doesn't matter.
