The "Delta Five" protesters, arrested for blocking oil trains at a BNSF rail yard, are granted the right to use the "necessity defense" in a Seattle court. This marks the first time an American court has allowed defendants to argue that their illegal actions were necessary to prevent the greater harm of climate change. The trial features testimony from rail safety experts and climatologists regarding the threats posed by fossil fuel transportation.
