Brazil's Lula to talk climate at UN, but Amazon fires undermines message

Quick Summary:

When Brazil's President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva opens the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, he is expected to call on the world to do more to combat climate change.

It remains to be seen whether he will address fires ravaging the rainforest back home and criticism of his administration's own environmental stewardship.

Lula has cast these fires as the result of criminals and proposed harsher punishments for environmental offenders.
