The UN’s biggest climate meeting is happening in a hard-to-reach corner of Brazil, and almost everyone there will be on a government or lobbyist expense account — except the people asking real questions.

We’re fixing that by sending a small, skeptical crew — Sheila Gunn Reid and Kian Simone — to be on the ground, outside the UN’s controlled zone, showing the 50,000 climate insiders flown in to tell you to “cut back,” the luxury arrangements laid on for them, and what Canada’s delegation is really doing there.

But getting two people to a sold-out, 50,000-person summit is pricey: economy class flights from Edmonton and Toronto are just under $5,000, the Airbnb is $2,500 because the city is jammed, and we still have to cover transport, data and local help.

That’s why we’re crowdfunding — please chip in and help us hit the $8,500–$9,000 goal.
