2nd climber scales New York Times skyscraper
 For the second time today, a protestor has climbed up the outside of the new New York Times building, according to the footage on NY1.
The slats on the outside of the Renzo Piano-designed building apparently make an easy ladder to the top.
The New York Times website has video from the first climb earlier today by "French skyscraper climber Alain Robert." He unfurled a banner stating ''Global warming kills more people than a 9/11 every week.''
The second climber identified himself as Ray Clark, 32, an information technology worker and “urban climber� from Brooklyn, according to the updates on the NY Times City Room blog. Leaving the bbuilding with police, he wore a shirt that stated “Malaria No More,� the Times reported.
