Environmental activists brazenly marched off with a giant letter "C" from the entrance of Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union party headquarters in broad daylight Thursday in a stunt to protest its climate change policies.

Members of Greenpeace waltzed into the CDU building in downtown Berlin in the morning and snatched the 2-meter-tall (6.5-foot-tall) letter from inside the glass.

To the remaining "DU" German for "you" they added a banner reading, "should protect the climate."
In preparation for the caper, the group also brought their own giant "C's" with them and established a Twitter account, "Das C" or "The C."
