‘Green Spiderman’ Climbs Building to Draw Attention to Climate Change
June 4, 2009 · Print This Article
A French climber known as ‘Spiderman’ scaled a 41-story building in Sydney on Tuesday to draw attention to climate change. Hundreds gathered to watch Alain Robert make his death-defying – and illegal – climb up to the top of an office building in less than 30 minutes without the use of a harness or ropes.
Watch:
When Robert got to the top, he unfurled a banner advertising environmental group One Hundred Months, which has calculated that we have 100 months starting in August 2008 before atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases would likely reach the point of no return.
As soon as Robert got down, he was arrested and remains in custody waiting to be charged.
