"Global warming kills more people than a 9/11 every week."

The French “human fly” who climbed the façade of The New York Times building and alluded to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to draw attention to global warming said he did not mean any disrespect to the victims of the attack, and never endangered anyone with his stunt.


“Actually, global warming is killing more people every week than 9/11, which is a big amount of people,” 45-year-old daredevil Alain Robert told TODAY in an exclusive interview in New York. “The global warming is killing and the government are not doing that much.”

Robert is due in court on Wednesday to answer charges of criminal trespass, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and posting graffiti, in the form of a banner he hung from the side of the 52-story Times building. The banner read: “Global Warming Kills More People than a 9/11 every week.”
