French "Spider man"Alain Robert yesterday completed his second assault on the 62-story Cheung Kong center to raise awareness of global warming.
He was publicizing website onehundredmonths.org,which is counting down the dayuntil efforts to rein in global warming pass the point of no return.
The 46-year-old from bourgogne scaled the tower in 40 minutes,watched by thousandsof onlookers and switching between the building's east and north facades just 10 stories from the roof to avoid heavy winds.
Robert said the stant was part of a three-year campaign leading up to the global warming summit in denmark at the end of the year.
He said he would do two-to-three more climbs.
Robert fell into the clutches of security guards at the top of the 283-meter building and was later released.
He previously scaled the far east finance center in 1996,the cheung kong center in 2005 and the four seasons hotel last year.
Robert complimented Hong kong authorities as"much more civilized"compared to those in new york,where he dodged a conviction for trespassing and rekless endangerment last year after he climbed the new york Times building.
