Question

The man known as the French “ Spiderman” climbed The New York Times building on Thursday to draw attention to global warming and six hours later another climber made the same climb.
Alain Robert 45 the first person to climb the 52-story skyscraper told reporters ahead of the climb on the UN World Environment Day his aim was to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time.
His manager Julie Cohen said she knew nothing about the second climber. She added that Robert’s climbs were without risk and he was a professional climber.
Robert climbed without equipment except for climbing shoes. He was greeted at the top by the police who arrested him. 
The second climber was also immediately arrested at the top by police. His climb at the height of the evening rush hour drew crowds and was shown live on at least one TV station.
Several people in the crowd shouted“jump” when he stopped part of the way to rest but there was a loud cheer as he reached the top. Wearing red pants black climbing shoes and a white T-shirt that read “ Malaria(疟疾) No More” the man laughed as he was led away by the police from the building.
“ We don’t look at him as a modern spiderman ” said James Coil a member of the police emergency services unit. “ We look at him as somebody who not only puts his life at risk but is one of members of the public as well.”
Martin Edlund director of “ Malaria No More” which aims to prevent the one million yearly deaths from malaria said the climber had nothing to do with them but they appreciated his enthusiasm.
