Former US VP and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Al Gore
Indigenous protesters against deforestation are making their voices heard in Belem, Brazil, the site of the UN's major climate summit. But the world's most powerful people aren't even at the conference: Presidents Trump and Xi are no-shows, and so is India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, all big polluters.

Also on today's show: Juanita Goebertus, Director, Americas Division, HRW & Noah Bullock, Executive Director, CRISTOSAL; NYT reporter Charlie Savage
