I see that three German farmers have teamed up with Greenpeace and are suing Angela Merkel’s cabinet for missing the country’s targets on climate change.

One of the farmers lives on an island in the North Sea and is afraid of losing her house to rising sea levels, while another lost half his hay and millet crop because of the soaring temperatures.

They claim that the government is infringing on their constitutional right to life and health.

The case was filed last year and is due in court this week.
